In 1974 or 1975 the association was joined by the Metal Structure Plant in Bukčiai, in 1980 it incorporated the Kaunas company "Aidas" ("Echo"), which manufactured children's furniture, strollers and musical instruments: metallophones, harmonicas, etc.
[2] As with most industries in the Soviet Union, the association had its share in manufacturing goods for the military.
For example, the metal goods workshop "Aidas" had to manufacture mine casings and its canisters were sold, e.g., to the army of Jordan.
In 1992, after the regaining of the independence of Lithuania, all production associations were dissolved into private companies.
As a result of this and the closure of the large Russian market in mid-90s nearly all of them went bankrupt by the end of the 20th century.
