2 weaponsThe plant is best known as a Kramatorsk heavy machine-tool producer, with public issuer records describing metalworking-machine production and weapons-and-ammunition activity. Company reporting describes the enterprise as one of the older machine-tool makers in the former Soviet industrial base, historically focused on large and specialized metal-cutting machines.
The plant's defense relevance is anchored by reporting on the 2S22 Bohdana, which identifies KZTS/KZVV as the prime contractor responsible for the 155 mm ordnance.

The plant's English name and abbreviation appear in several transliterations, including KZTS and KZVV. Public sources also mix Kramatorsk legacy addresses with the post-2022 legal address in Perechyn; this profile avoids map coordinates because a separately sourced headquarters location was not established. The page image is a rights-clear photograph of the catalog-connected Bohdana system rather than a facility photograph.
