With these enterprises, Svetlana OJSC implements a unified strategic scientific and technical policy, jointly conducts R&D and participates in the fulfillment of defense and city orders.

History

The Svetlana brand is almost a hundred years old, but the history of Svetlana began much earlier. Its founder was St. Petersburg entrepreneur Yakov Moiseevich Aivaz.

• 1889 Ya. M. Aivaz opened a workshop for the manufacture of paper cigarette cases on Nevsky Prospekt. Gradually expanding production, Aivaz organized the production of a series of tobacco machines.

• 1911 Joint Stock Company "Ya. M. Aivaz" was organized... "for the production of various kinds of machines and technical products." JSC receives a large defense order and acquires a large plot of land on the Vyborg side in Lesnoy for the construction of a new plant.

• 1913 JSC "Ya. M. Aivaz" acquired the patent of the German engineer Weber for the manufacture of electric incandescent lamps with a strong tungsten thread and began construction of a new building for their production.

• 1914 At the plant of the joint-stock company "Ya. M. Aivaz" the first electric light bulb was produced. The trademark "Svetlana" is marked on the lamp. By the beginning of World War I, the Aivaz plant was one of the largest enterprises in St. Petersburg with 6,000 people.

• 1920 Aivaz Plant was nationalized and divided into two independent enterprises: Machine-Building Plant No. 1 (later the F. Engels Plant) and Svetlana Plant, which became the base enterprise for the production of electric lamps.

• 1928 Svetlana Plant and Leningrad Electric Vacuum Plant are merged under the general name Svetlana Electric Vacuum Plant. Start of production of receiver-amplifier and generator lamps. The development of new products was entrusted to the factory research laboratory headed by Sergei Arkadyevich Vekshinsky.

• 1933 The factory laboratory under the leadership of Vekshinsky received industry status. From that moment, Svetlana became the main scientific, technical and production center of Soviet electronics. From 1933 to 1941, 400 samples of electric vacuum devices were developed at the OVL.

• 1937 At the international exhibition in Paris, Svetlana generator lamps won the highest Grand Prix prize.

• 1941-1945 The Great Patriotic War

In the first days of the war, about 2,000 employees of the Svetlana plant and the Engels plant went to the front. More than 400 women workers became sandruzhins, built defense structures. In July 1941, the evacuation of factories to the deep rear began, and already in September the evacuated Svetlana workshops in Novosibirsk began to produce the first products. In besieged Leningrad, Svetlana continued to work. In addition to the electric vacuum products necessary for the Army, the plant produced ampoules for anti-tank arsonists, fuses, glasses for direction finders, and molds for traffic jams for mines. In the laboratory of the plant, the regeneration of M600 lamps for the Leningrad translational, as well as GU499 lamps, for the first radars was established. In 1942 alone, 20 thousand lighting lamps were regenerated and again produced. Svetlanovtsy sacred honor the memory of the workers of the Svetlana plant and the name of Engels, who fell on the fronts of the war and died in besieged Leningrad.

• 1947 For the development of new types of devices, a special design bureau was created, from which KBs subsequently stood out in certain specialized areas.

• 1949 The plant of X-ray devices was created. The X-ray laboratory of OKB Svetlana was subsequently transferred to the jurisdiction of this plant and transformed into the OKB of X-ray devices.

• 1952 The F. Engels plant was transferred to the electronic industry for the production of microwave devices for radar equipment. A new design bureau for the design of electronic devices was created and the plant was re-equipped.

• 1956 At Svetlana, for the first time in the USSR, serial production of germanium transistors developed by the Moscow NII-35 began. The semiconductor laboratory of the Svetlana Design Bureau at the same time developed and launched the production of low-power high-frequency and low-noise germanium and silicon transistors used in the creation of the first space satellites.

• 1962 On the basis of related industrial enterprises and design bureaus of Leningrad and the north-western economic region, the Leningrad Association of Electronic Instrumentation "Svetlana" was created along the territorial and sectoral lines.

• 1972 The Svetlana association included the Leningrad Design Bureau, which specialized in the development of large integrated circuits and computer products. While maintaining the traditional directions of activity, the emphasis on the development of the association was transferred to microelectronics.

• 70-80 years of the twentieth century.

During these years, the most important devices and systems were developed and mastered in serial production:

• digital and analog microcircuits based on bipolar CMOS technology;

• small-size X-ray tubes with cold cathode;

• series of modulator lamps for radar;

• a series of powerful generator lamps for traveling wave amplifiers;

• the most massive calculator for S3-22 accounting;

• the first single-board computer in the USSR S5-01;

• microprocessor modules S5-21 and S5-22;

• the development of a unique generator tetrode with a continuous power output of up to 2 megawatts for heavy-duty broadcasting has been completed;

• the first domestic micro-computer was created on one chip and a number of other developments.

• 1992 Svetlana Leningrad Electronic Instrumentation Association was transformed into an open-type joint-stock company.

• 1992-1993 On the basis of the Scientific and Production Complexes of LOEP Svetlana, subsidiaries of JSC were created - closed joint-stock companies in the main areas of Svetlana's activities.

• 1996 By agreement between the Ministry of Industry and Science and the Administration of St. Petersburg, an innovation center "Regional Fund for Scientific and Technical Development of St. Petersburg" was opened in one of the Svetlana buildings.

A cooperation agreement was signed with the German company Heimann Systems for the development and supply of a series of X-ray tubes for customs control and cargo inspection equipment.

• 1997 Svetlana Joint Stock Company became part of the Russian Electronics Holding.

• 1999 Heimann awarded ZAO Svetlana-Rentgen the title "Best Supplier of the Year."

On the basis of the innovation and technical center "Regional Development Fund of St. Petersburg" and a number of industrial industries of competitive innovative products developed by small enterprises of ITC, by order of the Ministry of Science, a specialized innovation and industrial complex (IPC) "Svetlana" was created.

• 2006 OJSC Svetlana together with FSUE NPP Istok for the first time in Russia created and tested a prototype of a powerful transistor on the AlGaN/GaN nanoheterostructure at an operating frequency of up to 10 GHz with a specific power of 3.8 W/mm.

• 2007 The first domestic energy-saving semiconductor white light lamps with a capacity of 10 W and 20 W were created for use in railway transport, construction and housing and communal services on nitride nanoheterostructures of their own production.

• 2008 Serial production was organized and deliveries of epitaxial materials in the gallium arsenide system were started in the interests of the industry.

• 2009 OJSC Svetlana, together with OJSC VNIIRA and OJSC OKB Planeta, developed the first domestic broadband amplifier based on nanoheteroepitaxial heterostructures of gallium nitride for a frequency range of 50-3500 MHz with a gain of 19 dB and an output power of 2 W.

• 2014-2021 The share of the plant was owned by one of the structures of businessman Andrei Berezin. In the fall of 2021, he left this company, and subsequently the asset itself left the capital of Svetlana. Also, until the spring of 2022, Berezin was a member of the Board of Directors of the enterprise.
