Lubensky Machine-Building Plant

1915-1991

The history of the enterprise begins in 1915 ^[1] , when equipment from the evacuated Mehanika plant arrived from the western provinces of the Russian Empire in Lubny ^[2] . As a result, a new industrial enterprise was created on the basis of pre-existing semi-artisan workshops ^[1] .

After the February Revolution of 1917, the economic situation of the plant was complicated, and later the plant was nationalized. During the Civil War, the plant did not function, but after the end of hostilities the restoration of the enterprise began.

In late January 1920, the Mechanic plant was transferred to the balance of the county council of national economy. The company began repairing agricultural machinery ^[3] .

Subsequently, a mechanical workshop ^[3] became a part of the plant, production capacities were increased and the plant received a new name: Lubensky metalworking plant “ Komsomolets ” ^[4] , the enterprise specialized in manufacturing and repair of agricultural tools, and the plant also mastered the repair of industrial equipment ^{[3] ]} .

In 1936, the plant was one of the leading industrial enterprises of the city, the total number of workers and employees of the enterprise was 104 people ^[4] .

During industrialization, the plant was reconstructed and received a new name: Lubensky Mechanical Plant "Komsomolets" ^[5] .

During the hostilities of World War II and the German occupation of the city (September 13, 1941 - April 18, 1943), the plant was damaged, but during the fourth five-year plan (1946-1950) it was restored and by the beginning of 1953 it was again one of the leading industrial enterprises of the city ^[5] . Subsequently, the mechanical plant ^[6] was transformed into the Lubensky machine-building plant Komsomolets ^[7] .

In 1970, Komsomolets was awarded the Certificate of Honor of the Central Committee of the CPSU, the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the USSR and the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions ^[8] for achieving high production indicators of the Lubensky Plant of Experimental, Technological, Elevator and Mill Mechanical Engineering “Komsomolets”.

In the 1970s ^[7] - 1980s, the plant was still one of the leading enterprises of the city ^[1] , the list of products was gradually expanded and, in addition to equipment for transporting, storing and processing grain and grain products, production of equipment for transporting sand and other bulk cargoes (in particular, punching sieves made of sheet structural steel) ^[9] .

After the independence of Ukraine , in May 1995, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine included the plant in the list of enterprises subject to privatization during 1995 ^[10] , after which the plant was privatized and transformed into an open joint-stock company .

As of the beginning of 2010, the Lubensky Machine-Building Plant "Komsomolets" was one of the leading enterprises in the city, its main products were equipment for the transportation, storage and processing of grain and grain products ^[2] . The plant also mastered the production of solid fuel boilers for heating systems and equipment for the manufacture of fuel briquettes and pellets ^[11] .
