UZTM (Uralmashzavod) is a machine-building enterprise in the city of Yekaterinburg, a manufacturer of high-quality equipment for metallurgy, mining, building materials and energy industries.

The cooperation between the EO Paton Electric Welding Institute and UZTM has a bright history that began in the Goths of the Second World War. As you know, the PWI was evacuated to Nizhny Tagil, where a team of scientists joined the production of T-34 tanks at various enterprises. The Ural Heavy Machine Building Plant was one of such enterprises.

The fruitful cooperation between the PWI and UZTM made it possible to organize the production of the hulls of the T-34 tanks, manufactured using the technology of automatic welding under a layer of flux. Thanks to this, over 19,000 armored hulls, 30,000 field and tank guns, about 6,000 tanks and self-propelled guns were manufactured during the war years.
