The Degtyarev plant (officially the Open Joint Stock Company "V. A. Degtyarev Plant", Russian: ОАО Завод имени В. А. Дегтярёва, commonly abbreviated as ЗиД (ZiD), English: ОАО Zаvоd imeni V. А. Dеgtyarevа) is one of the most important weapon-producing enterprises of Russia.
Founded in Kovrov in 1917, the firearms plant has been supplying Russian and Soviet armed forces with weapons ever since. Weapons such as the Degtyarev anti-tank rifle (PTRD), the Degtyarev infantry machine gun (DP-28), the Shpagin submachine gun (PPSh-41) and the Goryunov heavy machine gun (SG-43 Goryunov) were created at the plant.
In 1989 it was the fourth largest motorcycle producer in the Soviet Union.
Presently the Degtyarev plant is producing revolvers, machine guns, aircraft guns, anti-aircraft guns, anti-tank guns and rocket systems.
The plant also makes a range of civilian products: motorcycles (i.e. Voskhod), mopeds, micro-tractors, sewing machines and accumulator batteries.
