The city of Elektrostal in the east of the Moscow Region is a major center of engineering and metallurgy. Elektrostal factories produce a wide range of products: from nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants and special steels to gas masks and consumer goods.
Characteristic
Elektrostal is one of the youngest cities in the country. Founded in 1916 as a rural settlement, in just one century, it has become a leading industrial cluster in the Moscow Region with a population of 158,000 people. Some Elektrostal plants are unique.
For example, Elemash MRZ specializes in the production of nuclear fuel, which is the basis for the work of dozens of nuclear power plants in Russia and partner countries. Elektrostal smelts specialized steels. EHMZ is a leading manufacturer of filter elements for personal protective equipment.
Other large plants of Elektrostal:
- Heavy Engineering Plant EZTM.
- Plant "Boiler".
- OST-Tara.
- ENPO "Inorganic".
- CJSC NIKBOOR.
- Elektrostal House-Building Plant.
- PC "ELDOM".
- Furniture factory Bogacho.
In total, there are 37 large and medium-sized enterprises and 140 small business facilities in the urban district.
Metallurgical plant
JSC MZ Elektrostal is a leader in the production of special-purpose steels for high-tech industries, design bureaus, and research centers. The company is the main Russian supplier of heat-resistant nickel alloys in a wide range. Over 2000 metal grades of various sizes are produced here: from bulky packages to thin wire.
The metallurgical plant was founded by industrialist Nikolai Vtorov in 1915-1917. Gradually, the settlement of Zatishye developed around it, which became the basis for the modern city of Elektrostal. The enterprise was equipped with the most modern equipment at that time. Alloy steels were produced here, surpassing the quality of products of other Russian plants in quality.
After the revolution, production intensively developed. To produce automobiles, aircraft, military equipment, machine tools and equipment, high-quality corrosion-resistant metal was required. In 1923, factory workers smelted the first ton of stainless steel, and since 1926 they began to produce high-strength ball-bearing steel. The first batch of nichrome was obtained in 1932.
The following decades, MZ Elektrostal became an experimental site for the development and smelting of new types of steels and alloys: heat-resistant, precision, and special. Superplastic superalloys of the plant are used for the manufacture of innovative jet engines.
PJSC "Engineering Plant"
Thanks to the activities of Elemash, Elektrostal is a large world center of the nuclear industry. It produces unique products - fuel (fuel assembly) for nuclear power plants equipped with reactors of types BWR, EGP, BN, RBMK, VVER, PWR. Tickets are also made (fuel pills) for foreign partners.
The Elemash machine-building plant, in addition to fuel cells, produces regulatory bodies for protection and control systems, absorbing elements, and nuclear components for research, experimental and transport reactors. The MRZ provides nuclear fuel to about 60 reactors in 15 countries.
EZTM Plant (Elektrostal)
The heavy machine-building electrical plant specializes in manufacturing tooling and equipment for mining and processing plants, machine-building, and metallurgical enterprises. The factory workers can make the most complex, unique units. The team was repeatedly awarded state awards of the USSR and the Russian Federation.
Today EZTM produces a wide range of mills:
- ball-rolled;
- wire;
- cold rolled;
- rolling parts;
- small grades;
- medium grades.
It also produces rolls rolling for hot and cold mills, pipe equipment for applying protective coatings, assemblies for tube welding, tube rolling complexes, liquid bearings, spare parts.
Electrostal Chemical and Mechanical Plant named after Zelinsky
EHMZ is a unique enterprise where they produce effective filter elements and absorbers against a wide range of harmful chemical, poisonous, and radioactive elements. These materials are used in the manufacture of personal protective equipment, special clothing, filters for protective structures, rescue equipment.
At the EHMZ production is carried out:
- adsorbers;
- liquid filters;
- sorption-active substances;
- tissue for filtration;
- respirators
- self-rescuers;
- gas masks;
- gas smoke protection kits;
- collective protective equipment.
Output
Elektrostal factories form a large scientific and industrial cluster. The presence in the region of the best educational institutions in the country, research institutes and design bureaus, a high level of industrial culture, and the provision of highly qualified personnel contribute to the further development of enterprises.
