For this catalog, the builder context is focused on the plant's Ukrainian armored-vehicle role: T-84/Oplot production and modernization with Kharkiv Morozov Machine Building Design Bureau, BTR-4 hull and vehicle manufacturing qualification, and related tank-engine and component work.

Ukroboronprom says the state concern was transformed into the Joint Stock Company Ukrainian Defense Industry, with all shares owned by the state.
Sources: Ukroboronprom reform overview
Public sources use Malyshev Plant, Malyshev Factory, State Enterprise Malyshev Plant, and Ukrainian/Russian transliterations for the same Kharkiv industrial lineage. Parent-organization wording is also in transition because Ukroboronprom was transformed into Ukrainian Defense Industry in 2023. The profile therefore keeps the catalog facet as Malyshev Plant, adds common aliases, and omits headquartersLocation because no precise map-coordinate source was used during this edit.
