History
In 1871 Alexander Kolchugin, a merchant, acquired two copper-flattening plants situated at a distance of 130 kilometers from Moscow which marked the beginning of over 130-year history of today's Kolchugino Plant of the Non-Ferrous Metals.
In the first thirty years there were built a brass department with a steam-engine (250 horsepower) and six rolling mills; copper-rolling department with a steam-engine (200 horsepower) and five rolling mills; departments for brass and tough-pitch copper casting; cast iron and machine shops, a forge. Such manufacturing capabilities gave an opportunity of manufacturing more than 12 types of non-ferrous metal products.
In 1896 the first trial power plant was put into operation. After putting into operation a four-storied department for winepress and a powerful rolling mill it was arranged an output of new products. Kolchugino partnership became a pioneer in the development of new alloys, which is why it got more than 60% of all state orders in Russia for copper and brass sheets and plates.
