Plant named after Y.M. Sverdlov

Plant named after Y.M. Sverdlov is a Russian federal state enterprise in Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod region, with a long-running role in explosives, special chemicals, ammunition equipping, and related industrial machinery. Public industrial listings identify the plant's official site at sverdlova.ru and describe production of industrial and special chemistry, industrial explosives for mining and oil-and-gas work, ammunition manufacture and disposal, and machinery production.

The plant traces its official founding date to 27 June 1916, when an order was issued to build the Nizhny Novgorod explosives plant. Regional industrial reporting describes it as a basic enterprise of Russia's ammunition sector and says it has served as a production site for new products, specialized equipment, process automation, and ammunition-industry technologies.

Open sanctions and defense-industry sources place the enterprise inside Russia's Rostec structure through Technodinamika and identify it as a major producer of industrial explosives and munition-filling capability. Public descriptions emphasize several production routes for ammunition equipping, including pressing, screwing, and pouring, which allows the plant to handle artillery shells, aerial bombs, engineering munitions, anti-tank guided-missile warheads, and air-defense missile warheads.

The official site was not directly retrievable during this update, so public-facing context relies on exhibitor listings, regional industrial reporting, sanctions records, and defense-industry reporting. Some sources describe sanctions and military-production claims; this profile limits those claims to manufacturer context and does not assign conflict use to any weapon.
