The company site describes it as the oldest defense enterprise in Russia and presents it as a producer of military and civilian goods.

The manufacturer is relevant to cataloged infantry weapons because public reporting, registry records, and technical references connect the TOZ corporate identity to small arms, ammunition, grenade-launcher production, and guided-missile manufacturing relationships. The same sources also document the legal-name variants that appear across official, sanctions, and reference records.
