Manufacturer catalog
Perm Machine-Building Plant is the catalog name for the Soviet-era Perm artillery works later known as Motovilikha Plants, a Perm-based heavy machine-building and defense enterprise tied to tube artillery and rocket-artillery production. The catalog connection is the 2A36 Giatsint-B, whose development and manufacturer are attributed by Ukrainian defense-university material to the Machine-Building Plant in Perm.
4 weaponsThe Perm works grew out of the Motovilikha industrial complex, a long-running artillery and metallurgical site in Perm. Reference sources identify the legacy names Plant No. 172, Perm Cannon Plants, Machine-Building Plant imeni V.M. Molotov, and Perm Machine-Building Plant imeni V.I. Lenin as former designations of the same industrial line now associated with PJSC Motovilikha Plants.
For this catalog, the builder page is scoped to the manufacturer facet attached to the 2A36 Giatsint-B. Broader Motovilikha history matters because the site became a major Russian/Soviet artillery producer, while the direct catalog claim is kept to the sourced Perm machine-building link for the Giatsint-B gun.
The National Defence University of Ukraine identifies the manufacturer as the Perm machine-building plant and says the Machine-Building Plant design bureau in Perm began the extended-range 152 mm gun program in 1968.

This profile uses the catalog's existing Perm Machine-Building Plant manufacturer facet as a legacy name for the Perm/Motovilikha artillery works. Current corporate status is hard to represent cleanly because PJSC Motovilikha Plants went through bankruptcy, its property complex was sold to Remdizel in 2023, and the modern Motovilikha entity is listed by sanctions trackers; the catalog role is therefore limited to sourced builder context rather than current legal-control claims.
