Reference to the history of the Electromedical Equipment Plant

		Thus, plant №16 of Major Instrument Manufacturing of the USSR Health Care People Committee, or Sverdlovsk Medico Instrumental Plant, was founded in Sverdlovsk on October, 7, 1941. Municipal organizations were provided with the laid up building constructions, groundwork plants of the Municipal Health Care Department and Bio edifice, owned by the Medical Institute. At the end of 1941 the first group of 42 workers arrived at the plant from Leningrad Plant “Krasnogvardeetz”. Ivan Antonovich Antonov was appointed as the first director of the plant (consequently, the chief of central administration “Medtechnica”). The first 15 lathes from Moscow Experiment Plant of Main Medical Instrument Manufacturing were set up in February, 1942. 35 items of various medical instrument had been under the production by the end of the war in 1945. In 1952 the former Sverdlovsk Syringes Plant merged with our plant. In 1954 complicated medical shadeless surgical bulbs were developed and put into production. Since 1956 the plant has been specializing totally in manufacturing the Electromedical equipment, and in February, 1956, the plant was renamed into Sverdlovsk Electromedical Equipment Plant, or “EMA”, according to the resolution of the USSR Ministry of Health Care. In 1997 the plant was turned into the JSC “The Electromedical Equipment Plant”. Recently the plant turned out to have developed considerably from the large ill-repaired buildings into the modern enterprise with large well-fitted edifices. The modification of lathe equipment into the more sophisticated and efficient one is taking place. It enables us to manufacture our production steadily with confidence providing greater level of quality.
