History
In 1871, the industrialists A. A. Porokhovshchikov and P. I. Gubonin created the company Gubonin, the Powders and Co. [2] . In 1874, a cement factory building was built according to a project by architect August Weber . The Podolsk cement plant was opened in 1875 near the village of Vypolzovo (now in the city of Podolsk). The owner was Alexander Aleksandrovich Porokhovshchikov, who transformed the company into a “Moscow joint-stock company for the production of cement and other building materials and trade in them” [1] .
The main products of the plant were Portland cement , Romanesque cement , lime , kilned bricks . The raw material base of the enterprise was limestone deposits along the banks of the Pakhra River [1] . By 1913, 95% of the output in Podolsk was cement. Since the beginning of World War I, the German company Vogau Trading House , co-owner of the Moscow Joint-Stock Company, has curtailed economic activities in Russia. After the October Revolution, the owners of the company emigrated from the country, and the plant was stopped. In 1918, the property of the enterprise was nationalized [2] .
In 1925, the restoration of the production capacity of the enterprise began, and on March 15, 1926, the launch of the enterprise took place. In 1949, the plant was moved to new buildings, and in 1956, the Podolsk experimental cement plant was founded in the city. In 1973, he was awarded the Order of the October Revolution [2] .
In 1994, the enterprise was privatized and transformed into the open joint-stock company Podolsk-Cement. Re-equipment of production capacities of the enterprise was made, production of cement corresponding to European standards was mastered [2] .
