About us

Currently, the plant produces equipment for food and industrial liquids filling lines - both easily flowing and viscous, in glass, PET containers and tubes (tubes).

The history of Lenprodmash CJSC dates back to 1874, when Nikolai Yakovlevich Pal organized the Cast Iron Foundry and Alabaster workshops, renting at that time abandoned production facilities along the Tarakanovka River.

The site for the construction of the plant was not chosen by chance. Due to the high consumption of iron and iron, the future company needed convenient access roads. And such a path existed - this is the Tarakanovka river (today Tsiolkovsky St.). At that time, this method of delivery was one of the most developed and cheapest, and also did not require large investments in content.

The plant was not an industrial giant, but, nevertheless, these were not artisanal workshops: a steam installation (with a capacity of 8 forces), 15 lathes, one planing machine and other equipment. The factory initially employed 46 people. The plant consumed 25,000 pounds of pig iron and 6000 pounds of iron annually. Consumption volumes were constantly growing, which required considerable efforts from the plant owner: in particular, it was necessary to obtain official permits to increase annual quotas for the import of iron and pig iron. Mr. Pal was an energetic and perspicacious industrialist, which allowed him to develop the plant for a long time, increase the volume of orders and attract new labor. Workers willingly went to him, because when applying for a job, they were provided with housing (both for themselves and for their families) and food.

In 1915, Pal withdrew from this production, leasing it to the joint-stock company Mantel from Riga. But after the revolution of 1917, the plant was left without control and without work. A team of workers turned to the Petrograd Soviet with a request to transfer the plant to temporary ownership of the Common Labor partnership.

In 1930, the company was renamed the Krasnaya Vagranka plant.

The thirties is the time of rapid development of the plant:

• 1930 - cupola cupboards for Uralmashzavod are made at the plant
• 1931 - manufacture of blast furnace tubes for Magnitogorsk.
• 1932 - manufacturing of MIGE furnace parts for Dneprostroy.
• 1933 - the plant carried out the first industrial experience in the USSR in the smelting of high-chromium cast iron.
• 1935 - the Northern Harvester was made for harvesting grain in wet areas.

During the Great Patriotic War, the plant was renamed the State Machine-Building Plant N848 and was engaged in the production of mines and shells.

In 1946, the former name "Red Cupola" was returned to him.

Since 1959, the Krasnaya Vagranka plant has been merged with Lenmashzavod with the name Lenmashzavod.

On the basis of the order of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, in 1971 Lenmashzavod was reorganized into the Leningrad Machine-Building Association Prodmash.

The current name, "Lenprodmash", the plant received in 1973 and was organized on the basis of the production association Prodmash. At that time, this allowed the combined efforts of Soviet engineers and designers in the development of equipment for the food industry.

By the decision of the Registration Chamber of the St. Petersburg City Hall in 1993, the Lenprodmash Closed Joint-Stock Company was registered as the legal successor of the Lenprodmash association.

Today, the production capabilities of the enterprise make it possible to concentrate on its own premises all the stages of manufacturing parts and assembling machines: casting, including for smelted models, bending, forging, stamping, plasma cutting, processing on all types of metal-cutting machines, including CNC, stainless steel welding, grinding and polishing of parts, molding of rubber and plastic products.

The accumulated knowledge and experience, the high professionalism of the specialists of the design bureau, the continuous improvement of design solutions and new technological developments ensure high quality equipment and also allow the company to maintain a competitive advantage in the market of equipment for filling lines for a long time. All this allowed JSC Lenprodmash in December 2001 to receive the international quality certificate ISO-9001, and in 2002 and 2003 to confirm it.
