The century-old history of the enterprise began in May 1919 and since then it has been inextricably linked with development of the country. From the day of its foundation, the plant has retained its machine-building profile, it was entrusted with the most complex and important orders. The plant changed its names, manufactured products corresponding to the eras of time - first, repaired steam locomotives, then manufactured cracking units for oil industry, mine electric locomotives, during the wartime - armored hulls for T-40 tanks and fuselages for IL-2 attack aircraft, famous armored train "Podolsk worker". In the post-war period - boiler units for thermal power plants, thermal and mechanical equipment for nuclear power plants not only in our country, but also abroad.

For outstanding success and early fulfillment of five-year plans in 1936, the enterprise was named after the People's Commissar of Heavy Industry of the USSR Sergo Ordzhonikidze and given its modern name - Machine-Building Factory of Podolsk (ZiO).

The plant keeps the historical memory and continues to follow the traditions. Sergo Ordzhonikidze’s memorial unveiling ceremony was timed to coincide with the anniversary celebrations.
