The Izhevsk Metallurgical Plant made a worthy contribution to the Great Victory. He supplied metal for the production of weapons and military equipment to more than 150 enterprises in the country. During the war years, as much metal was produced as in the 10 pre-war years. In October 1944, the staff of the plant was awarded the Order of Lenin for selfless work. More than 1000 workers defended the independence of the Motherland with arms in hand. Five of them were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, three are full holders of the Order of Glory.
