Motovilikhinskiye Zavody OAO

"The Motovilikhinskiye Zavody (MZ) OAO [open joint-stock company] dates back to the first half of the 18th century. Until recently Motovilikha's main output was sophisticated types of arms. In recent years many examples of modern artillery have been made, such as the Giatsint 152-mm system, the Tyulpan 240-mm self-propelled mortar, the Nona family of 120-mm towed and self-propelled guns, and the Uragan and Smerch volley-fire rocket systems. However, in recent years the lack of a defense order has made the enterprise go over to peaceful output. As of today MZ, which includes about 80 enterprises, produces equipment for the oil and gas extraction industry, road building equipment, equipment for the coal mining industry, and plumbing goods.

The enterprise was privatized in 1992. The biggest shareholders today are Motovilikha-Invest ZAO [closed joint-stock company] (about 35%), Splav GNPK (20%), and FLIPP ZAO (about 10%). In the experts' opinion MZ General Director Yuriy Bulayev, one of Perm's senior directors and industrialists, "controls" the controlling share in the enterprise." (Izvestiya, 04 May 01 ).
