HISTORICAL REFERENCE
The Polotsk plant "Selkhozooborudovaniya" was founded in 1927 on the basis of small handicraft workshops called "Trud-Collective", which arose from the association of small handicraftsmen in the "Union of Metalworkers". It was the only metalworking enterprise in the city of Polotsk.
By the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, in 1941, the reconstruction of the workshops was completed. The number of workers and employees was about 200 people. The volume and range of production has significantly expanded. Products were shipped to all union republics of the country. During the difficult years of the occupation of the city of Polotsk (July 1941 - July 1944) the workshops were completely destroyed.
After liberation from the Nazi enslavers, the workers of Polotsk actively began to restore the destroyed enterprises of the city. By the beginning of 1945, the workshops were restored, and the number of employees was 36 people.
