Nevyansk Mechanical Plant

The Nevyansk Mechanical Plant is a large industrial facility in Nevyansk with manufacturing halls, office buildings, and technical infrastructure spread across its grounds. It produces presses, furnaces, electric cooking elements, and waffle makers for both commercial and household markets.

The factory was founded in 1701 by Nikita Demidov and ranks among Russia's oldest industrial enterprises. During World War II, it shifted focus to manufacturing artillery ammunition for the Red Army.

The plant received the Order of Lenin and Order of the Red Banner of Labour, marking its contributions to Russian industrial development.

The site is accessible for visitors to view the building structures and industrial layout from outside. It is best visited during clear weather to get a better view of the various areas spread across the grounds.

The factory shifted away from military production in 1992 and began manufacturing consumer goods instead. This transformation shows how Soviet-era plants adapted to a new economic system after the Soviet collapse.
