Creation History
The plant was located 30 miles east of the city of Elabuga , near the Ufa road, on the Toyma River.
The plant was founded as the Ufa blast furnace plant at the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th centuries by the treasury. The managers at the plant were Colonel Lavrenty Neyhart, authorized Berg-collegium Alexander Aristov. The plant, as dilapidated, was transferred in 1724 to Ivan Evseevich Nebogatov, to whom the Ilninsky plant , the Saralinsky smelter , were also transferred, and the blister copper was smelted at the latter. The new owners of the plant were converted into a smelter, where blister copper was refined, bayonet copper was produced. In the 1730s, the plant was attacked by the Bashkirs [1] .
Due to the shutdown in 1730 of the Saralinsky plant, the need for the Elabuga conversion plant disappeared. The plant ceased to function in 1735, the remnants of the equipment were divided between partners [2] .
