Kirov Plant
In 1967 the first casting was made, starting production at the site which continued for another 30 years; in 1968 another factory was constructed at the site as a branch of the St. Petersburg Kirov Plant (Putilov factory) producing parts. In 1973 'Centrolit', the Kirov subsidiary, and Litprom were merged, becoming the Tikhvin branch of the Kirov works. In 1974 production of parts for the "К-700Т" tractor began.
