The main types of products are molds for metallurgical plants, metal structures, spare parts and prefabricated units.

In 1931, on the left bank of the Dnipro in Zaporizhzhia, the construction of the Dnieper Metallurgical Combine began - the largest in Europe (at that time) complex of ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy.

Before the Nazis invaded Zaporizhia, Zaporizhstal's equipment was evacuated to the rear (Magnitogorsk, Russia),[6] and the rest, including the shops of the former RMZ, were damaged or blown up.

First of all, the shops of the former repair and mechanical plant, the electricity and gas supply system, and the subsidiary economy were restored.

In 1958, a harvester plant was built on the territory of the mechanical shop, but reapers and other agricultural machinery were practically not produced here.

In this shop for the first time in the world the practice of liquid self-hardening mixes used for manufacturing of forms began to be applied.

On January 1, 2006, a modern thermal department with mine and chamber electric furnaces, as well as quenching installations with high-frequency currents was put into operation in the mechanical shop.
