Chelyabinsk Steel Plant has been manufacturing products for nearly 80 years. Having started work during the war years, the enterprise did not stop its activity even in the most crisis years. Today Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant is one of the flagships of the industry, equipped with advanced technologies and new production lines.
Factory for factories
The official date of birth of ChZMK is May 10, 1942. The company became the successor of the Uralstalmost plant. Workshops began to be built on the outskirts of the city, where workshops for the production of steel structures were previously located. Along with the construction of production facilities, the production of metal elements for many future industrial giants began.
Designs were needed for the metallurgical plants of Magnitogorsk, in Chelyabinsk, tractor, mechanical, metallurgical, forging, ferroalloy and many other plants were being built, products were also sent to the Miass Automobile Plant, as well as to the Chelyabinsk Thermal Power Station-1.
For Victory
The first production line was launched in the summer of 1942, then the company received an unofficial status - the “factory of plants”, as the steel factory of Chelyabinsk began to be called. The first absolutely non-construction products in the year the company opened were guides of rocket launchers to the famous Katyusha.
Until the end of the war, the factory produced not only military equipment, but also peaceful products. For various enterprises, 22 open-hearth furnaces, four domain structures, more than 300 bridges, about 20 workshops for various purposes and many other engineering structures were manufactured.
Years of development and creation
After the war, active reconstruction work began in the country. The Chelyabinsk metalwork factory supplied products to the Azovstal Mariupol plant, the Minsk Tractor Plant, and the Kuibyshev and Volgograd state district power plants. Until 1960, the volume of production, compared with the war period, increased to 73 thousand tons, which is 2.5 times higher than the starting capacity.
In 1972, the company carried out work to improve the quality of manufactured structures by opening in-line paint shops and tubular structures. This allowed the plant to enter the international market.
In the period of the 70–80s, the ChMMC paid attention to the organization of labor safety, comfort for workers and the continuity of labor generations. A household building with well-equipped changing rooms, showers was built. A training center, a technical library with a huge fund of professional literature and a conference room began work. In the early 80s, the plant released a jubilee 100 thousandth ton of products.
Modernity
Today, Chelyabinsk Steel Plant JSC is the flagship of the industry. The company employs about 2 thousand employees capable of completing a task of any complexity. Products are in demand at home - metal structures have become part of the workshops of Mechel OAO, Atommash, VAZ, OJSC MMK and many others. Foreign deliveries are carried out to Algeria, China, Mongolia, Cuba, India and other countries.
Over the entire period of its activity, the Chelyabinsk metalwork plant has become a participant in the construction of such unique architectural structures as Moscow State University, the Olimpiysky sports complex, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the ring line of the Moscow metro and many others. Metal structures were created for the hometown, which became the basis of the Youth Palace of Sports, the Circus, the Academic Drama Theater, etc.

ZMK "Mountain ash"
The metal plant Ryabina (Chelyabinsk) was launched in 2011. The first products were traditional for enterprises of this kind in Chelyabinsk - they produced metal structures for civil and industrial construction. With the transition of construction technologies to the monolithic construction of buildings, there was a need for metal formwork. The company quickly reorganized by purchasing additional equipment and developing its own production technologies.
Continuous improvement of working methods and technological processes allowed ZMK Ryabina to expand the range. Today, the company produces complex metal structures not only for the construction industry, but also for many industrial enterprises.
The main areas of production:
- Formwork for casting columns (large-panel, round).

Positive reviews
Reviews about the Chelyabinsk steel plant with positive reviews were written by employees who have been working for the company for many years. They say that it was always an honor to work at ChZMK. The plant calmly survived many economic crises, without prejudice to capacity, and there was no reduction in staff. Many wrote that wages arrive on time and paid twice a month, the norms of labor legislation are fully respected.
The partners of the company left positive reviews, noting that the quality of the products received corresponded to all their wishes. Negotiations were conducted constructively, a consensus was found in controversial situations. The cost of purchased structures was very attractive. The customers who wrote the review believe that not only the price-quality balance was observed, the deadlines were met, but also openness and a desire to work were demonstrated. Customers recommend contacting ChZMK.
Negative reviews
Negative reviews say that success largely depends on the management of the company. With the arrival in 2017 of a new director who is not familiar not only with the enterprise, but with the industry as a whole, the situation at the plant has changed not for the better. Many felt that the innovations were flawed, there were no orders, raw materials for production were not purchased, and workers were not employed. Many carry out unusual tasks - snow removal, instead of milling or washing shops, instead of painting.
There are claims to wages, the new terms of the employment contract directly indicate that the payment will be minimal, the remaining surcharges are possible only in the form of bonuses, bonuses, and it is almost impossible to receive them. A system of fines with vague wording has been introduced. For these reasons, and also because of the changed atmosphere in the team, many workers prefer to quit, although they are representatives of family dynasties.
