Taganrog Iron & Steel Factory

The construction process involved the participation of numerous peasants from the nearby areas, who settled in makeshift dwellings such as dugouts and mud huts around the factory.

[5] In 1914, the plant was not only involved in manufacturing civilian goods but also expanded its production to include military items such as armor plates and shrapnel grenades.

However, a stroke of luck occurred when Felix Dzerzhinsky, the Chairman of the Supreme Economic Council of the USSR, stepped in and intervened, effectively saving the plant from being liquidated.

Back in 1933, a new pipe rolling shop was established and inaugurated, with pilger mills that were manufactured by the German industrial conglomerate, Mannesmann.

During the time of occupation in 1941, the Wehrmacht unified armed forces inflicted extensive destruction upon the metallurgical plant, leaving it in ruins.

The extended office space not only provided a larger and more sophisticated working environment for the management but also represented the plant's dedication to meeting the increasing demands and challenges of the market.
