Metrowagonmash (MWM) is one of the leading enterprises in Russia operating in the field of transport machine building.
[2] In May 2009 its Mytishchi Machine-building Factory was spun off as a separate truck and armored vehicle manufacturing company.
The plant was founded in 1897 (in the village of Big Mytishchi) to manufacture railcars, first for the Russian North Railway.
The company later concentrated on production of subway cars, dump trucks and armored tracked vehicles (e.g. GM chassises).
[4] Metrowagonmash is the leading manufacturer of cars for metro systems of large cities of the CIS countries and of several Eastern European states.
