History
It was founded in 1862 by production engineer Donat Fyodor Grigorievich as a Joint Stock Company. It was mainly a mechanical plant and made different metal structures. For a short period of time (1889-1924), the plant was named "Kiev Machine-Building Plant" and in 1924, it was renamed to Leninska Kuznya. In 1928, by the Decree of Supreme Soviet Union Leninska Kuznya was made into a shipyard. In 1995, the company completed a change in ownership and open-type joint Stock Company was set up named Leninska Kuznya Plant. The machine building sector still constitutes a high percentage in general scope of production.[4]
