JSC Kalashnikov Concern (Russian:Концерн Калашников,romanized:Kontsern Kalashnikov,IPA:[kɐnˈt͡sɛrnkɐˈɫaʂnʲɪkəf];Udmurt:Сюлмаськон Калашников), known until 2013 as theIzhevsk Machine-Building Plant (Russian:Иже́вский машинострои́тельный Заво́д (ИЖМАШ),romanized: Izhévsky mashinostroítelny Zavod (IZhMASh);Udmurt:Ижкар машиналэсьтонъя завод (ИЖМАШ)),[4][5] is a Russiandefense manufacturingconcern andjoint-stock company headquartered in the city ofIzhevsk in theRepublic ofUdmurtia as well as the capital city of Moscow. The concern designs and produces a wide range of civilian and military weapons includingassault rifles,sniper rifles,designated marksman rifles,machine guns,squad automatic weapons,hunting rifles,shotguns, guided artillery projectiles, and a wide range of other precision weapons includingremote controlled weapon stations,unmanned vehicles, andmilitary robots.[6][7][8]
The Kalashnikov Concern produces about 95% of allsmall arms in Russia and supplies to more than 27countries around the world, making it the largestfirearm manufacturer in Russia. Notable products include theKalashnikov (AK) assault rifle series, theRPKlight machine gun series, theDragunov SVD semi-automaticsniper rifle, theSKS semi-automaticcarbine, theMakarov PMpistol, theSaiga-12shotgun, and thesubmachine gunsVityaz-SN andPP-19 Bizon. These firearms, except for the SVD, SKS and the PM, were based on the famous AK series, due to its reliability to endure harsh conditions, low production costs, availability in nearly every geographical region, and ease of use.[8][9]
As of 2018, 26% of the Concern's shares belong toRostec, while 74% of the company belongs to private investors (Alexey Krivoruchko and Andrei Bokarev).[10]
The Concern contains three firearm brands: "Kalashnikov" (combat and civilian weapons), "Baikal" (hunting and civilian guns), and "Izhmash" (sporting rifles). The concern is developing new business lines that include remote weapon stations, unmanned aerial and ground vehicles, and multi-functional special-purpose boats.[11]
On 10 June 1807 by the decree of theEmperor of All RussiasAlexander I a firearms factory was established in the city ofIzhevsk, the construction and operation of which was headed by the chief mining engineer of the city ironworks Andrey Deryabin. Architects, Semyon Yemelyanovich Dudin and Andrey Deryabin developed a long-term master plan for further comprehensive development of the arsenal. Due to the proximity of the ironworks, the armory was supposed to be built on the bank of theIzh River, which immediately solved the problem of raw material supply.[8][12][13]
Deryabin employed Russian andUdmurtian agricultural workers living in the city. At that time, agricultural workers had to settle in the arsenal and work there. Neighboring settlements were exempt from this rule, but they had to provide the arsenal with carts, horses and harnesses. Deryabin also hired foreign arsenal experts to train Russian craftsmen; in 1807 the arsenal produced sevenlong guns, fivepistols and sixbackswords.[12]
The first weapons developed by the armory were the No. 15 17.7mmmuskets, produced in the autumn of 1807. In 1808, the musket was later mass-produced for infantry equipping. The plant supplied theImperial Russian Army with over 6,000 of the No. 15 17.7mm muskets. In 1809, the arsenal producedrifles,muskets,carbines, and flint explosives forcavalry units. It also produced pistols and gun parts and remelted trophy weapons. During theNapoleonic Wars, especially during theFrench invasion of Russia, firearms were quickly produced for the Russian army, even though the arsenal had not been finished yet. In the first four years, the factory produced 2,000 long-barreled guns; in 1814, production increased to 10,000 guns and 2,500 swords; by 1830, desired annual output was 25,000 long-barreled guns and 5,000 backswords.[8][12][13]
Between 1811 and 1816, ten stone factory buildings, several wooden buildings and the main tower-like building of the arsenal were constructed. In 1817, the construction of the main arsenal building was completed. This four-story building was one of the first multi-storey industrial buildings in Russia. The production process was multi-layered, starting with rough preparatory work (on the lower floors) and ending with the assembly of weapons (on the upper floors).[12][citation needed]
Starting in the 1830s, the armory started manufacturing "Gartung" short rifles, "Phalis"breech-loading rifles, and boarding guns for theBaltic Fleet of theImperial Russian Navy. In 1835, the armory transferred cold steel production ofswords andlances toZlatoust, focusing mainly onfirearm production. In 1844, the armory started upgrading current guns into more rapid firingpercussion muskets. The armory also started using thecaplock mechanism for its products in 1845. During theCrimean War, Izhevsk supplied theRussian Imperial Army with 130,000 rifles, with a third of them grooved. By 1857, 50 years after the creation of the armory, over 670,000flintlock firearms, over 220,000 percussion firearms, over 58 thousandrifles, as well as a plentiful number of swords and lances were produced.[12][13][citation needed]
In 1867, the armory was reorganized into a lease and a private commercial enterprise. At this time, the armory was retrofitted and equipped with steam-engines, new machines, and an open-hearth furnace. This allowed the armory to produce more breech-loading weapons for the Russian Imperial Army, notably the "Krnk" and "Berdan" type rifles. The Berdan rifle was the most widely produced firearm at the plant during the time as well, indirectly allowing Russia to approach the European industrial empires' level of armaments.[12]
By 1870, production rate at the armory exceeded both the armories ofTula andSestroretsk. Later, when the methods of high-qualitysteel production were well mastered, Izhevsk became the source of gun barrels and barrel receivers for Russian plants. For example, armory enterprises in Tula used annually up to 360,000 barrels from the armory atIzhevsk. In 1884, the plant was later returned to the state and became Izhevsk Gun and Steel Factories (IGSF). In 1885, IGSF started manufacturinghunting weapons and tools. In 1891, IGSF startedmass-producing theMosin–Nagant rifle. The IGSF also started usingDC generators to produce electricity to illuminate the plant as well as to power the machines. The IGSF was the only Russian enterprise that produced firearms for all branches of the Russian military. Thanks to the IGSF, Izhevsk became a large industrial center in Russia.[12][citation needed]
During theFirst World War, IGSF supplied theImperial Russian Army with over 1.4 million new rifles and approximately 188,000 remelted shoulder weapons. Prior to theRussian Revolution, the IGSF took leading positions of the Russiandefense industry in terms of manufacturing and manpower capacity. By 1917, about 34,000 people worked at IGSF. In 1918, adesign bureau was established in the IGSF.[12][13]
After the formation of theSoviet Union in 1922, large changes came to the IGSF. The state's firsthunting gun factory was opened on the enterprise's premises in the same year. The IGSF required more highly trained personnel in order to accommodate new production and to work on newer machines. Thus, by 1929, IGSF-bound personnel had to be trained at the Izhevsk Technical School. In 1930, a new open-hearth furnace was put into operation and in-house production of machines at the factory was launched.[12]
More re-organization took place in the 1930s, including the conversion of the IGSF into a Chief Designer Bureau, as well as the adoption and production of several new models of firearms: a modifiedMosin–Nagant rifle design of 1891/1930, the battle rifleAVS-36, made bySergei Simonov, and theSVT-38 self-loading rifle and theTT pistol, made byFedor Tokorev. This gave rise to a flow line method of production. In 1938, theconveyor belt was implemented into the assembly of gun barrels and other parts, greatly increasing the production rate of firearms for theSoviet Army. In 1933, a New Design Bureau, "BNK", was established at the factory to develop and modify firearms. Today, the bureau is named the "Armory Design Center" (KOC). In the bureau's lifetime, about 300 models of small-arms, air ordnance, sport, hunting weapons, and other types of equipment were developed, most of which was in series production at the plant. In 1939, the main plant of the IGSF, Plant No. 180,was split into two independent enterprises:Metallurgical Plant No. 71 and Engineering Plant No. 74, which manufactured weapons. Engineering Plant No. 74 would later be renamed the Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant, or simply, Izhmash.[12]
DuringWorld War II, Engineering Plant No. 74 served as the main firearm manufacturer for theSoviet Armed Forces. SinceOperation Barbarossa left the Soviet Union in a very desperate position, the plant produced as many firearms as it was physically capable of, more firearms than its lifespan for 92 years prior. From 1941 to 1942, the plant set upmass production ofVasily Degtyarev'sPTRDanti-tank rifle,Sergei Simonov'sPTRS-41 anti-tank rifle, theBerezin UB aircraft machine gun armament, the 37mmShpitalny Sh-37 andNudelman-Suranov NS-37 aircraft guns, and sniper rifles with optic sights, along with theTT pistol and theNagant M1895revolver.[citation needed] A total of 11,450,000 rifles and carbines were produced in the plant, exceeding all the combinedGerman firearm manufacturers' outputs of 10.3 million. Besides firearms, the plant also produced over 15,000aircraft guns and over 130,000anti-tank weapons.[12][13]
On 20 July 1942, Plant No. 622 separated itself from Plant No. 74, using equipment transferred from the evacuated mechanical plants atTula andPodolsk. During the war, the plant manufactured more than 1 millionpistols and 200,000 anti-tank rifles. Plant No. 622 would later be renamed as theIzhevsk Mechanical Plant, or simply, Izhmekh.[12]

AfterWorld War II, the Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant later recovered the production of its civilian arms and transportation. The plant also hired war veteran and ex-tank driver and mechanic,Mikhail T. Kalashnikov, after noticing hissubmachine gun design that gave him distinction as a gun designer. In 1947, Kalashnikov created hisassault rifle, the7.62×39mmAK-47. The AK-47 became the standard rifle of theSoviet Army in the same year, and later grew popular around the world. The AK-47 gave the plant fame and newer potential in thearms industry. The plant also created newer hunting weapons based out of theMosin–Nagant rifle as well as sporting weapons. These sporting weapons helped theSoviet Union's team to winshooting competitions in European championships and theSummer Olympic Games numerous times.[12][13][14]
Kalashnikov later designed newer firearms: theAKM and theAK-74 assault rifle, theRPKlight machine gun, and thePKbelt-fed machine gun. These firearms helped contribute to greater firepower for the Soviet Army as well as numerous nations that had imported them. Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant gun designerYevgeny Dragunov also help contribute to the plant's fame by creating hisSVD sniper rifle. Designed in 1963 and based out of sporting rifles, the SVD became thesquad support weapon for the Soviet Army in the same year as well as starting a new trend ofsemi-automaticsniper rifles.[12][14]
In 1975, the Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant changed its name to the Izhmash Industrial Association.[9]
After thedissolution of the Soviet Union, Izhmash struggled with a decline in demand and competition with overseas firearm manufacturers. As a result, Izhmash created theSaiga semi-automatic rifle, and started producing theTigr, a civilian version of the SVD which was created back in the 1970s, in batches. Izhmash also expanded to the Western market, which was extremely successful, especially with the Saiga. Izhmash also created two new sniper rifles, theSV-98 and the SV-99, which had a more enhanced fire precision than the regular SVD, for special units of theRussian Armed Forces.[12][14]
Despite the success, by 2008, Izhmash was composed of numerous enterprises that were on the verge of bankruptcy. The Russianstate corporation,Rostekhnologii (Russian Technologies, now Rostec), revealed the poor state Izhmash was in by 2010. Only 32 companies of Izhmash were actually operating with a multi-level management system, high overheads and doubled up functions. The combined liability of Izhmash in early 2011 was₽19 billion. The use of the existing modern equipment hardly exceeded 20%.[9]
As a result, Rostec took control of Izhmash and started restructuring andconsolidating the company in 2011. According to Rostec, one of the objectives was to retain its research, industrial and human resources and turn Izhmash into a leading global small arms manufacturer. Izhmash was later reestablished through assets consolidation by 2012. As a result, there was a threefold increase in profits and a 10% cut in costs. In 2011, Izhmash increased the utilization rate of modern multipurpose equipment from 20% to 70%. The effect from the efforts to enhance production performance amounts to₽100 million.[9]
On 13 August 2013, Izhmash andIzhmekh (formerly Izhevsk Mechanical Plant)merged, with the new concern named Kalashnikov Concern. Thanks to the merger, Kalashnikov Concern is Russia's largest and most importantarms manufacturer.[15]
In July 2014, Kalashnikov Concern wassanctioned by the United States and theEuropean Union as a result of theRussian annexation of Crimea andRussian military intervention in Ukraine.[16] Since Europe and the United States were the largest customers of the concern's civilianfirearms, the concern was forced to rethink its marketing strategy. The concern opened five new markets and started selling its civilian firearms to ten new foreign countries, which helped the concern make up for its losses.[17]
In the same year, Kalashnikov Concern has presented "Strategy 2020", which includes technical re-equipment and production modernization. When implemented, the project will qualitatively improve production technology and greatly reduce running costs and energy consumption while also improving working conditions and overall productivity.[18][19]
On 9 February 2017, Rostec's management board gave permission to transfer Kalashnikov Concern to private investors. As of now, Rostec owns 26% of the concern while private investors own 74%.[10]
In 2022, the Concern had reportedly achieved a 40% record yearly increase in weapons production for domestic needs and for export and also completed one licensed production agreement.[20] The Concern reported in May 2023 that it had achieved a 10-year record in weapons deliveries during the first quarter of the year[21] and that it has established a drone production unit.[22] It was reported in late August 2023 that the production of9K121 Vikhr, Strela and Kitolov missiles rose almost 1.5 fold.[23] The company said in January 2024 that the government contracts for sniper rifles had increased by 8 times in the past year.[24] It was also said that the production of "special equipment" increased by 45% in 2023[25] and the production of combat pistols by 5 times.[26] The company reported in February 2024 that the production of drones has increased by 60% since 2022.[27] Kalashnikov reported in May 2024 that during the first quarter of the year it had increased the civilian production output by 50% and the firearms production by 9% at comparison with the same period of 2023 and also raised revenues by 37% and started to supply upgradedAK-12 assault rifles of the 2023 model.[28] In the next month, the Concern reportedly started supplies of the civilian electrically-powered and VTOL Legionnaire drone which is used for cargo delivery, terrain sensing and video monitoring.[29][30][31] Supplies of the Stena special vehicles begun in July 2024.[32] On 22 July 2024, the company claimed that production of military and civilian goods has increased by 50% during the first half of the year.[33] On 3 October 2024, the company reported that it is ramping up the production of aircraft guns because of a multiple growth of order volumes.[34] On 22 November 2024, the company stated that it had completed the 2024 state order for small arms ahead of schedule.[35] On 28 January 2025, the Kalashnikov reported that it had achieved a 10-year record high revenue from export contracts for both military and civilian small arms in 2024.[36] In January 2026, the company started to supply the Russian Army with electric motorcycles and electric scooters.[37]
JSC "Kalashnikov Concern" has its headquarters in city of Izhevsk and theKhamovniki District in the capital city of Moscow.[38]
JSC "Kalashnikov Concern" is composed of the two largest firearm manufacturers inIzhevsk:[15][39]
JSC "Kalashnikov Concern" divides its firearm products into three brands.[40]
JSC "Kalashnikov Concern" has foursubsidiaries:[39]
Vladimir Grodetsky, who headed IzhmashNPO since 1996 as general director left the bureau in 2011. He was later replaced byMaxim Kuzyuk, who left the bureau in June 2012. Alexander Kosov was later appointed as a temporary general director of the bureau from June to December. In December 2012, Konstantin Busygin was appointed general director of Izhmash. Busygin was later responsible for transformation of Izhmash and Izhmekh into the JSC "Kalashnikov" Concern, of which he became CEO.[41]
On 30 January 2014,Rostec's supervisory board approved the appointment of Alexei Krivoruchko, its new shareholder, as CEO of the Kalashnikov Concern, replacing Konstantin Busygin. He took up his duties on 31 January 2014. According to the interlocutor of the agency, since 2011, this is the fourth change of the general director at the enterprise.[41]
In August 2021 Vladimir Lepin was appointed Kalashnikov Concern CEO in place of Dmitry Tarasov.[42]

Although the arsenal was under construction in 1807, production of weapons immediately started: mainlylong guns,pistols, andbackswords. One notable long gun the arsenal made was the No. 15 17.7mm muskets, of which 6,000 of them were supplied to theImperial Russian Army. The arsenal later manufactured rifles,muskets,carbines, and flintblunderbusses forcavalry in 1809. The venture also produced pistols and gun parts and remelted trophy weapons.

In 1884, the plant was returned to the state and became Izhevsk Gun and Steel Factories (IGSF). In 1885, IGSF started manufacturinghunting weapons and tools. In 1891, IGSF startedmass-producing theMosin–Nagantbolt-action military rifle in a development of nine years, based on the design of the1898 Mauser rifle (Gewehr 98) with new unique features such as apush feed recessed bolt head. In addition to being one of the most produced rifles in mass-produced military bolt-action rifles in history, the Nagant is also used in every war from the time it was developed to the modern day. The rifle was produced from both theImperial period and theSoviet era, with military production concluded in 1965, but production for civilian use is continued to the modern day. In addition to the Mosin–Nagant rifle, Belgian industrialistLéon Nagant, who was a co-inventor of, developed theNagant M1895revolver. The revolver has a unique "gas-seal" system that provides a boost to muzzle velocity as well as make the weaponsuppressed. The sidearm, like the Nagant rifle, was produced in the Soviet era as well, and was mass-produced and used widespread.[12][43]
