The factories of Yaroslavl occupy an important place in the sectoral structure of Central Russia. In a large production center there are enterprises of engineering, military-industrial complex, chemical, textile, construction, food industry. Let's consider some of them.
Tire Plant (Yaroslavl)
By the end of the 1920s, as the economy grew, an acute shortage of chemical products created in the country. The civil war for a long time stopped the development of industry. It was urgent to close the gap with other countries. The government decided to create a large center for the production of rubber products and asbestos. Particular emphasis was placed on the production of cord tires.
In 1932, the grand opening of the plant in Yaroslavl took place. During the Second World War, this was the only enterprise capable of manufacturing tires for cars, trucks, public transport, and military equipment. In 1943, the YaShZ was badly damaged by bombing; it took months to restore it.
After the war, the plant was modernized. Innovative technologies were actively introduced into production, technological processes were improved. The team was the first in the USSR to master the production of tubeless tires.
And today the tire factory in Yaroslavl remains the leader in the industry. 2000 highly skilled workers annually produce over 3 million units of products known under the Cordiant and Cordiant Professional brands. Export deliveries are carried out in three dozen countries. Designed for a variety of climatic conditions, the tires adequately withstand the tests of Russian roads despite the cold and heat, rain and snow. By production high-quality materials are used, machines and equipment correspond to the best world analogues. It is no coincidence that YaShZ products are respected by motorists.
Norsk plant
The Norsk ceramic factory in Yaroslavl is the largest manufacturer of building and facing materials in the region. He was destined to be the first in the Soviet Union, where the technology of automatic production of brick from clay was introduced. For his work, advanced equipment was purchased in England, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, France. The ceremonial start of production took place on a warm summer day on 07/01/1977.
The following decades, the Norsk plant in Yaroslavl did not stop developing. At the moment, he remains one of the leaders in the production of building materials in Russia. Productivity reaches 100 million pieces of brick annually. And over 38 years of work, about 3 billion units of high-quality products have been delivered to the country's construction projects. By the way, products from the Volga region were used for the construction and cladding of Olympic facilities in Sochi.
