History

Founded in Kovrov in 1916, the firearms plant has been supplying Russian and Soviet armed forces with weapons ever since. Weapons such as the Degtyaryov anti-tank rifle (PTRD-41), the Degtyaryov machine gun, the Shpagin submachine gun (PPSh-41) and the Goryunov heavy machine gun (SG-43 Goryunov) were created at the plant.

In 1989 it was the fourth largest motorcycle producer in the Soviet Union.<ref name="rdbd385">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}Template:Dead link Template:PD-notice</ref>
