13 August 2018, Monday

Last weekend, the Karpov Chemical Plant located in Mendeleyevsk celebrated its 150th anniversary.

Great potential in the plant development was brought by outstanding personalities – the forward-thinking Ushkovs merchants’ dynasty, while on the initiative of Dmitry Mendeleyev, new production workshops were opened and an experimental batch of his invention, smokeless gunpowder, was produced. One of the plant directors (1915-1917) was the outstanding Russian chemical engineer Lev Karpov, the founder of the republic’s chemical industry.

For many years, having come through all the ordeals, the company remains one of the up-to-date Russian enterprises, a monopolist in the production of twelve kinds of chemical products with guaranteed high quality. The company currently exports products to seven CIS and non-CIS countries. The plant's products are used in various sectors, from machine building and electrical to chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan Aleksey Savelchev stressed that the company is able to implement the most ambitious plans; the projects they conceive will eventually begin to become reality, and the plant will become an example of a digital enterprise that produces competitive products.
