LLC "PC" Bezhitsky Steel Plant ": history, production, products

More than 80 years of OOO "PC" Bezhitsky steelmakingfactory "supplies high-quality steel castings to domestic railroad engineering. Without its products production of passenger, freight, specialized cars, train trains and subways can not be done. The products are supplied under the Bezhitskaya Stal brand.

Base

By decision of the government in 1931 in the townThe beige of the Bryansk region, on a marshy wooded area, began the construction of a steel plant at the Bryansk factory "Red Profintern". By the end of 1934 the open-hearth housing, fire department, boiler room, auxiliary rooms were rebuilt. On September 28, 1935, the brigades of Boris Laktyukhov and Pyotr Gavrilov performed the first experimental melting. After 2 months the metal was cooked already in 3 open-hearth furnaces. Also, a unique steelmaking electric furnace was built at the Bezhitsa Steel Plant. From the first portion, the bust of I.V. Stalin and the commemorative plaque.

In 1938 the branch was reorganized intoindependent production - Ordzhonikidzegrad steelworks. With the outbreak of hostilities, the government decided to urgently evacuate the main technological capacities and part of the specialists in the Urals - in Nizhny Tagil. At the new site began the production of tanks of the T-34 series and their modifications.

Postwar development

A month after the liberation of Bezhitsa factory workersbegan to restore the dilapidated shops and install equipment. The first post-war steel was welded on December 25, 1945. In 1948, the talented leader A.F. Averin. Under his leadership, a year and a half later, the Bezhitsky Steel Plant reached the pre-war level of production.

In addition to the development of the technological part,considerable attention was paid to the daily life of employees. For them, housing was built, social and cultural facilities, cultural and entertainment events were held. In just 3 years on the outskirts of Bezhitsa a new micro-district of low-rise buildings has grown.

In 1966, the place of director took the namesakethe previous leader E.K. Averin. Like his predecessor, he did a lot for the technical re-equipment of the Bezhitsa Steel Plant. Government awards for labor achievements are noted by many steelmakers. In the Soviet period, the enterprise was operating at the capacity limit. With the beginning of perestroika and the breaking of economic ties, the volume of work has decreased. In the 90s BSZ was corporatized.

New stage

In 2002 the PC "Bezhitsky Steel Plant"became a part of Transmashholding. This step allowed to gain access to investments, to enter new marketing markets, to work in cooperation with the profile enterprises of railway engineering.

In 2005 BSZ headed V.V. Voronin. Over the next few years, another technical re-equipment program was implemented. Old equipment is partially replaced by new automated computerized complexes.

An important achievement was the equipment of the sitesmall-series castings in molds from cold-hardening mixtures. Then a complex reconstruction of the foundry shop No. 3 followed, the newest machining lines for large castings were launched. New infrastructure facilities have been built.

Today the structure of production includes shops:

• casting;
• specialized;
• machine-assembly;
• machining.

Also at the plant there are 11 auxiliarysections and shops. The quality of products is controlled by employees of a certified factory laboratory. When designing new nodes, 3-D design technology is used. Kunkel-Wagner equipment is installed on the molding line. Automated systems allow you to work on the specified parameters. Thus, the influence of the so-called "human factor" is excluded.
