1975–1985

The output of united series electric motors was grown up to 650 thousand units p.a. Export reached 19 thousand motor p.a. The part of production approved by superior quality grade is 88.3%. Iron casting plant of 33.4 thousand tons of castings per year was commissioned.

1986–2001

New series of 6A80, 6AE80, AD80, 6A90, AD90, AIS112, AIS132, AD132, AD200 electric motors, washing machine motors, welding generators were being designed and introduced. New oil industry and deep-water pump electric motors were designed to satisfy market’s demands.

2002

Tomsk motor engineers started to produce motors for heavy payload portal cranes. Pilot run of Hungarian “Hanz” portal crane motors was tested. A diversified machine engineering complex was created on basis of JSC Sibelektromotor.

A more than a 60 year experience, great staff skills, a modern production and technological base, a tendency to create next day’s output were opening wide horizons for the company.

2003

Next-gen AD160, AD180, AD225, MTH411, MTH412, AD71, ADE71, ADP80 electric motors production was successfully mastered. A pilot run of MTH312 crane motors was produced.

A high-speed fiber optic communication line and corporate network on basis thereof were brought into the service. All production’s carrying and accounting processes are under control of bar code system.

Yekaterinburg branch was opened.

The technical re-equipment plan is started to run. Japanese EDM unit by Sodick was mounted in tool shop.

2004

MTKH011 and MTKH012 crane motors of zero frame with squirrel-cage rotor were released. The production batch of “Albrecht” portal crane motors came off the assembly line. Crane motors to work in chain with frequency converter drives with independent ventilation were made by the order of metallurgists.

ADK and DAOK household appliance motors were laid off.

80 percent of the enterprise’s vehicle fleet renewed. Tool shop obtained new EDM unit by Mitsubishi.

Foundry melt shop was massively reconstructed. Cupola heating technology was replaced by electroinductive one. New melting complex by Otto Junker GmbH was acquired. Iron castings and production thereof assortment was extended.

The production output growth 2 and half time in comparison with 2002.

ISO9001:2000 quality management certificate was acquired.

2005

First batch of MTH011 and MTH012 phase-wound crane motors was sent to customers.

Machine tool population has replenished with 4-axis CNC-center by HAAS (USA) and CNC-lathe by Daewoo.

A transition to paced assembly technology were started.

Production concentration and rationalized resource use plan were started to run. Administrative, laboratory and other buildings were constructed. New supply and garage complex were built.

2006

The lot production of MT(K)H 132, MTH 211 crane motors started. torque motors with frequency converters were received by metallurgist customers.
EGT50, EGT-80 electro-hydraulic thrusters' production is prepared for batch production. A block and disk brakes production were being mastered.

2nd stage of iron casting plant upgrade involved the preparation department. AHB core shooting machine is acquired and mounted for cold core production.

Czech BUB32B grinding complex is installed on the shaft processing line.

The vertical CNC-lathes by Korean Doosan were mounted in united series plant. Acquired V740TM, Puma Invertun 3000M, Puma V400M equipment allows to process bearing shields for all of the company’s assortment motors including torque and crane ones.

H260HB contour band machine is installed during preparation department upgrade.

New GARDNER DENVER compressor equipment allows to supply shops with compressed air.

Kazakhstan's Pavlodar branches were opened.
The output was grown 5 times up since 2003.

2007

“Great moving” plan were successful completed. The plan’s purpose was the uniting of united series motor plant and crane motor plant, optimal concentration of main and instrumental production on shared area and completing the transition to paced assembly of all motors assortment.

Main molding conveyor demounting and re-equipment of sand-shop were done. The high-speed moulding line, sand plant by Italian SAVELLI and automatic induction pouring furnace by German Otto Junker GmbH installation has deduced foundry manufacture on new level.

The production of 4MTH280 improved motors with isolated brush assembly is started.

2008

The topping-out ceremony of engaging sand-conditioning department and main forming conveyor and casting induction furnace was conducted.
