Barnaul car-repair plant

History

• In 90 years the plant endured many reorganization: from the Main railway workshops where engines and commodity cars were under repair, it was transformed in 1926 to the car-repair plant. Later time engines came to its workshops again, and it became locomotive-repair. In 1935 time of engines came to an end, and the plant received the final name — car-repair.
• Into the sixtieth — the beginning of the seventieth years VRZ passed to a pipeline method of wagon repair. Later, in the seventies, the constructed workshop of dismantling of cars allowed to transfer preparation of cars for repair to a flow, and the created jet washer — to complete a dismantling cycle washing. The result — in 1973 was repaired 200 000th car, and in the 1983rd — 300 the 000th.
• During the period from 1989 to 2001 in the conditions of complete self-financing, self-financing and self-sufficiency the plant worked steadily. The production plan was implemented for 100 percent. In 1995 the plant received the status of "The leader of the Russian economy", took a prize in an industry competition of staff of the enterprises of railway transport.
• On April 1, 2006 VRZ became open joint stock company. This status dictated new tasks: the release of high-quality products became one of the priority directions.
