Voronezh Mechanical Plant


Voronezh Mechanical Plant is a Russian engine and heavy machinery manufacturing plant. It is located in the city of Voronezh, in the Voronezh Oblast.

History

Voronezh Mechanical Plant started as a diesel engine manufacturing plant, and has been the plant that serially manufactures the engines designed by KBKhA. In the later years, it has branched into producing oil and gas products like valves, manifolds and fittings.
In January 2017, Roscosmos announced that firing tests revealed problems with the Voronezh-produced Proton rocket upper stage engines. According to the investigation, expensive alloys had been replaced by cheaper less heat-resistant alloys. Voronezh director-general Ivan Tikhonovich Koptev resigned.
November 1, 2019 enterprises ВМЗ and КБХА were merged.
