GENERAL OVERVIEW: Izhevsk Mechanical Plant is a leading enterprise in the Udmurt Republic, an autonomous region with a heavy concentration of military industries. Izhevsk produces assault rifles--most notably the AK-47 and its successors--and antitank and tactical surface-to-air missiles for Russian forces. Among its civilian goods, Izhevsk is best known for its production of rifles and pistols for both hunting and sporting purposes. Izhevsk produces over 2,000 variations on 25 basic models of rifles and pistols. Other civilian goods produced at the plant include motorcycle engines and automobile axles. The Izhevsk plant was founded in 1942 with production equipment evacuated from Tula and Podolsk.

OWNERSHIP: State-controlled. Has reportedly been privatized.

YEAR ESTABLISHED: 1942

MILITARY PRODUCT LINES: Antitank missiles, Igla-type surface to air missiles, small arms.

CIVIL PRODUCT LINES: Hunting and sporting rifles, pistols, air rifles and pistols, motorcycle engines, automobile axles, milk packaging machines.

KEY TECHNOLOGIES/EQUIPMENT EMPLOYED: Izhevsk utilizes automated lines, multipurpose machine tools with numerical program control, and boring machine tools. While some of these machine tools are of Western design, most are produced in the plant's tool production facility. Izhevsk makes cutting and auxiliary tools, gauges and attachments, molds and dies, and high-precision attachments. These are often supplied to other Russian plants as well. The plant has also developed production processes for semiconductor technology for microcircuits, highly sensitive transducers, and high power industrial lasers. Izhevsk's foundry is capable of steel casting, powder metallurgy, and casting from non-ferrous alloys by various methods--including centrifugal casting. The plant also runs the Izhevsk Mechanical Institute, from which many of its skilled employees have graduated.

CONVERSION PROJECTS: The plant is attempting to compensate for reduced military orders by increasing its manufacture of civilian goods, which formerly accounted for less than 1/3 of total production. The plant is now assembling automobile components for a new vehicle, the Izh-2126 Orbita, and is adding floorspace for increased motorcycle engine production. Some of the plant's capacity for producing high-technology items is now directed towards making such new products as electrocardiostimulators, transistorized switches, turn signals for cars, hunting cartridges, and electric motors for household appliances. The plant currently also produces 3,000 Yugdon general-purpose kitchen appliances per month, as well as household computers, computer games, laser disc players, linoleum production lines, and gyroscopes. Izhevsk is developing alarm systems for cars and homes.

HUMAN RESOURCES SUPPORT: The plant maintains a considerable social infrastructure for its employees.

OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION: Currently over 30 countries import Izhevsk-produced firearms, which have won 12 gold medals and certificates in international competition. The plant has set up a small enterprise named 'Strela' to handle orders for its civilian small arms.

The main development of this factory began at the end of the 19th century, with further expansion occurring during the early 1930s. By 1939 the factory was divided into two separate facilities: a metallurgical production plant (now the Izhstal Production Association) and an arms production plant (Izhmash). During World War II Izhmash was one of the major arms suppliers to the Red Army of anti-tank rifles, 45mm anti-tank guns, submachine guns, and pistols. In 1946 captured German motorcycle production equipment was installed and the plant began to build motorcycles.
