The Kopeysk Machine-Building plant (Russian: Копейский машиностроительный завод) is Russia's largest manufacturer of Mineral processing equipment and mining equipment,[4] situated in Kopeysk, Chelyabinsk, Russia. Its products have been sold in over 30 countries.[5]
History
[edit]The company was founded on November 28, 1941 under the name Sergei Kirov State All-Union Machine-Building Plant. It combined the existing Kopeysk Mine Repair Plant with the resources of the Gorlovka Engineering Plant,[6] which had been evacuated from Ukraine as a result of Operation Barbarossa.[6]
On November 28 1941, the plant began production of supplies for the war effort against Nazi Germany.[7] In 1942 the plant was reconfigured to produce civilian goods, especially mining equipment, logging machines, pumps, and fans. In 1943, the company was awarded the Stalin Prize for its development of the "Kopeyskaya Pulsating Power-1", a new machine for cutting coal. In 1948, it assembled the first Walking Excavator in the Soviet Union (the ESH-1). In 1950, the plant's products were exported to Poland, Bulgaria, and China.[7] In 1976 the company was decorated with an Order of the Red Banner of Labour.
In the 1990s, the company was reorganized into a joint stock company. It also developed a new machine, the K-500, for loading potash ores and salt. Between 2004 and 2010, the plant was re-equipped. In 2006, the Kopeysk Machine-Building Plant received a Letter of Acknowledgment from the President of the Russian Federation. In 2008, the plant developed the KP21-02 roadheader and the Ural-20R roadheader.[7] The KP21 roadheader family are modern tunneling machines equipped with Remote control to ensure safety in mines prone to sudden outbursts of coal and gas.[8]
