Kiraŭ Machine Tool Plant

Kiraŭ Machine Tool Plant, Industrial manufacturing facility in Minsk, Belarus

The Kiraŭ Machine Tool Plant stands on Daŭhabrodskaja Street in Minsk, on the site of a works founded in the 1880s in the Košary suburb by the Svislač river. Its workshops produce broaching machines and special machines built on them, plus circular-saw, band-saw and hacksaw cutting-off machines, and the plant also overhauls and modernises machine tools. It employed 153 people according to the Ministry of Industry.

The plant traces its origin to the Koshary machine-building and iron-copper foundry, founded in 1881 or 1883 in the Koshary suburb on a bend of the Svislach. Renamed "Metallist" in 1925 and "Komunar" in 1928 after merging with the Vostok plant and central agricultural workshops, it switched entirely to machine tools in 1934 and was named after Sergei Kirov. From 1947 it specialised in broaching and cutting-off machines, and in 1981 it received the Order of the Red Banner of Labour.

The plant's name honours Sergei Kirov, the Leningrad party leader after whom it was renamed in 1934, the year it switched to machine-tool production. Its address is 18 Daŭhabrodskaja Street. In February 1973 Vyachaslaŭ Kebich, later Belarus's first prime minister, was appointed its director.

The plant stands at vulica Daŭhabrodskaja 18 in Minsk, and a relocation to the site of the Minsk Automatic Lines Plant on the same street has been planned as part of moving industry out of the city centre. The main 5.2-hectare site with newer buildings was sold in 2019 for 16.4 million roubles. The plant is under Ukrainian sanctions since May 2023.

The plant's site in the Košary suburb, in a bend of the Svislač River, was chosen in 1881 or 1883 for a foundry and machine works making equipment for the food industry and railways. Its address today is 18 Daŭhabrodskaja Street, and in February 2026 it joined the Belarusian Machine Tool Company holding.
