Russian Machines (Russian: Русские машины, /Russkie mashiny/) is a Russian conglomerate that consists of industrial and engineering divisions. The group currently operates 27 plants throughout 12 regions in Russia and produces mechanical engineering products including motor vehicles, car parts, rail cars, aircraft, farming and construction equipment. Russian Machines was established in 2011 from a group of industrial assets owned by Basic Element, a Russian industrial group which wholly owns Russian Machines.
The Russian Machines Group combines industrial operations in the following sectors:
Russian Machines is involved in the manufacturing, sales and servicing of the automotive assets for the "GAZ Group", the largest automotive company in Russia. GAZ Group was founded in 2005, after restructuring the production assets of "Ruspromavto" OJSK (started in 2001). The structure of GAZ Group includes 13 Russian automotive companies as well as sales and service companies. The company's headquarters are located in Moscow. Proceeds from the sale of the GAZ Group in 2012 amounted to 127 billion rubles.
Russian Machines' Aircraft Manufacturing utilizes the assets of the Aviakor plant, located in Samara and is one of the largest Russian aircraft construction enterprises.
Aviation Plant number 18 was evacuated in the autumn of 1941 and moved from Voronezh to Samara. where it organized mass production of Il-2 at the new location. After World War II and until 1958, it produced military aircraft: Tu-4, IL-28 and Tu-95. Later, the company produced aircraft for civil aviation: Tu-114, Tu-154, and Tu-154M.
The main activities at the Aviakor plant today are constructing, repairing, maintaining, and supplying spare parts for the Tu-154 and An-140 passenger aircraft. The plant is one of the few in Russia that have engaged in serial production of civil and military aircraft from parts and units of its own production.
