DORMASHINA plant, later named after the
50th anniversary of the Great October, was founded in
1923 on the basis of agricultural machinery plant that
belonged to Andron and Luka Donskoy brothers. The original
plant was, in turn, formed from artisan workshops that produced
agricultural equipment. At first, before 1918, foundry, press-forging,
and assembling works were carried out in the plant. The main line of activity of the plant was producing tilling equipment.
In succeeding years the plant was reorientated to produce machinery for motor road construction. In 1965 the Supreme Economic Council of the USSR decreed respective Ministries and statutory boards to provide planning, creating and mastering production of machinery for building motor roads with cement concrete pavement. It also enacted gradual increase in the rate of production of a number of plants including Nikolaev DORMASHINA plant.
The main business of the plant is production of road-making machinery (including asphalt pavers, concrete pavers, bitumen-ballast dispenser and other machines for pavement laying and repairs) and spares, as well as agricultural equipment and spares.
Production at the plant has traditionally been small-batch and so it is to date.
The following kinds of road-building machinery have been mastered in the production:
- asphalt pavement building with various productivity levels;
- macadam building;
- machine systems for cement concrete pavement building;
- hydroficated machine systems for cement concrete pavement building.
Machinery produced by the plant has been widely used in motor highways, streets, and aerodrome runways construction. The plant’s products are being exported to more than 20 countries around the world.
In October, 1994, by the order #1366 of the Ministry of Mechanical Engeneering, Military-Industrial Establishment and Conversion of Ukraine, Nikolaev DORMASHINA plant was transformed into DORMASHINA public corporation during the process of its corporatization.
