ООО Liteks (Rybinsk Press Manufacturing Plant) is a Russian engineering company producing equipment for the printing industry. It is located in Rybinsk, by the Volga river, in the Zacheremushniy district.[1] The plant was founded in 1915. In 1931, the first Soviet printing machine, "Pioner", was produced.[2] In 2006, the plant was renamed OOO "Liteks".
The company produced offset web-printing machines for the production of newspapers, books, magazines, and pneumatic units for printing offices.
History
In 1915, during World War I, the Railway Car Building Works "Feniks" was evacuated from Riga to Rybinsk.[3] In 1918, it was named "Proletariy". However, in 1921, the equipment of the Railway Car Building Works "Feniks" was returned to Riga, and the work of the plant "Proletariy" was put on hold.
In 1917, the company "Torgovyy dom Aleynikov. Averin i K" began the construction of a plant near the railway station. It produced all kinds of fittings: water-supply fittings, steam-water fittings, and transmissions.[3] In 1918, the plant was called "Armatrans". Construction of the main building of the plant was started in 1919 and continued in the following years.[3]
From September 1919 to 1920, the plant refurbished locomotives and was then handed over to the department of the Rybinsk Council of National Economy.[3]
In September 1922, it was joined by the agricultural machinery plant. Afterward, the plant was named "Metallist".[3] It produced agricultural machinery and tools.
In 1926, due to poor sanitary conditions and lack of space, it was decided to expand the plant and to use the location of the former plant "Proletariy" for this purpose.[3]
In 1931, the government decided to start production of printing machines in the USSR. Therefore, funds were allocated for the reconstruction of the plant to produce flat-bed printing machines and rotary machines.[3] On July 22, 1931, the first Soviet flat-bed printing machine, "Pioner-1", was released. It laid the foundation for domestic printing machine production.[2][3] From January 4, 1932, the plant was called Rybinsk Plant of Printing Machine Production named in honor of G. G. Yagoda.[3]
With the beginning of World War II, the plant switched to the production of mortars. Due to the systematic, ahead-of-schedule fulfillment of orders, the plant was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labour, as well as the Order of Lenin.[3] After World War II, the production of printing equipment was resumed.
Due to the growth of tax debts and unpaid wages, at the end of 2005, a bankruptcy procedure was launched. As a result, the plant was acquired by Moscow investors and was named OOO Liteks.[3] Production of printing equipment was resumed. After a while, however, financial problems arose again, and in 2014 the company ceased to exist. On this basis, a new company OOO "Liteyno-mekhanicheskiy zavod" (Литейно-механический завод (Casting and Mechanical Plant)) was established.[4]
Production
Currently, the company specializes in manufacturing two types of cast sections: on the one hand, they are made of carbon steels using hot investment casting. On the other hand, they are made of grey and high-strength cast iron using casting in disposable green sand molds and cold hardening mixtures. The casting is used for printing production, hydraulic machines, and hydraulic valves.
