Atommash OJSC (currently known as Energomash-Atommash JSC) was a nuclear engineering flagship of the USSR, located in Volgodonsk city of Rostov Region, the biggest enterprise in the city. Atommash was established in 1973 and was forcibly bankrupted in 1995. It was then profoundly restructured and resurrected as EMK-Atommash before becoming part of Energomash JSC, a major diversified engineering company. [1]
History
Construction of ATOMMASH started in 1975, the first factory building started operating in 1976 and already in 1981 it started producing equipment of its specialty. The enterprise was designed and constructed for manufacturing of complete equipment for NPPs (Nuclear Power Plants). The Chernobyl disaster and the Dissolution of the Soviet Union affected the future of the enterprise. The number of orders for the NPP equipment declined, and the enterprise had to expand the assortment of produced goods greatly.[2]
Ownership
Atommash was a joint-stock company; 30% of the shares were controlled by the State. The remaining 70% interest belonged to individuals and firms. Concern YACONTO JSC (an industrial conglomerate headquartered in Moscow) was the second largest shareholder of Atommash OJSC after the State itself, holding 28.5% shares as of 1997.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
