OAO ”Gazmash” Votkinsk branch was set up on the basis of Votkinsk gas equipment plant, DОАО ”Spetsgazavtotrance” branch previously.

The plant has been in existence since 1966, when it was decided to organize the production of domestic gas-using appliances on the basis of the production capacity of the tyre-repairing enterprise, which aimed to satisfy every type of requirements in the Urals and Volga-Vyatka regions.

The first domestic 4-burner gas cooker model 1460 rolled off the production line in 1968. At first cookers were assembled on the basis of the component parts and units supplied on co-operative venture between a number of Soviet enterprises. However, the plant started its independent production later on.  Already in 1971 the plant worked at its full projected production capacity.

Considering consumers’ requirement Votkinsk gas equipment plant increased a model range of manufactured gas cookers and launched a mass production of 4- plate electric cookers in several modifications as well. Cookers were produced under the brands of “Votkinsk” and “Kamelia” (Camelia).

With continuous focus on increase in a plant range of products,  mobile (inventory)  container-type buildings were put in production in 2000. The main clients of mobile buildings were Russian enterprises of oil-gas complex, the most important of which were OAO ”Gazprom” affiliated companies. Since then the plant has launched a great variety of mobile building models on chassis, frame, or on runners; 4-8 person hostels, on-site facilities, kitchens, canteens, foreman’s trailers /mechanical engineer’s trailers, baths-saunas, tool workshops, dryers etc., also in various dimensions: 6x2,5m, 8x2,5m, 9x2,5m, 6x3m, 8x3m, 9x3m.

In 2007 after the transformation of Votkinsk gas equipment plant into OAO ”Gazmash” Votkinsk branch a new period in its development began. At the earliest possible date a new range of  gas cooker models was put into production in exchange for outdated model 1460. Components and materials of high quality were used for cookers to be outfitted with, including those manufactured by OAO ”Gazmash” branches in Tchaikovskiy and Balakirevo. “Gazmash” design of mobile (inventory) container-type buildings was updated, their modification was expanded  and their conformity with  GOST R. (ГОСТ Р.) (Russian Standard) was certified on a voluntary basis.  

The programme aimed at the plant technological updating is being successfully carried out, its manufacturing shops are under reconstruction. Basaltic fibre thermo-insulations and other items have been added to a range of manufactured products for domestic cookers to be outfitted with. Besides, the enterprise has considerably expanded its presence not only on the Russian market, but overseas as well and started to take an active part in Russian and international exhibitions and fairs.
