The history of LGM the open joint stock company begins in 1864 when in Moscow in the street Bol’shaya Tatarskaya, Mr. Dobrov and Mr. Nabholz founded iron-cast workshops, which produced iron castings and machine details. To the end of XIX century the workshops were transformed into a plant for mechanical processing and assembly, so the plant became a machine-building one. Since that moment, the output of simple steam machines was launched as well as of diverse hydraulic turbines of small and middle capacity, of various drives and of other machines. To the beginning of XX century the plant becomes one of the significant machine-building enterprises of pre-revolutionary Russia.

After October Revolution in 1917, the human resources of the plant are represented by more than 1500 workers. After 1925, the fundamental modernization started in the plant. In 1927 on a base of modern equipment, the plant got up production of simple machines, details and equipment for fluid pumping. Nevertheless as a specialized pump production plant of the country-scale significance, LGM under name of Third State pumping-turbinal plant named after M.I.Kalinin becomes known in 30-ies of XX century.

Within 1937-1940 the LGM leading specialists conduct diligent designing experimental and testing work aimed at creation of unique pumps. As a result of this work, 83 pump standard sizes were developed of new highly economical pumps –series like NK, NKM and ND for pure water, series like NBS and NKB for pumping of kerosene and petroleum.

The most hard stage of plant’s working life fell into years of the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945). In efforts to survive in that severe and merciless epoch, a part of the plant was evacuated to Ural. Besides many plant’s workers went as soldiers to the front line and in citizens-in-arms movement. For the Great Victory of Soviet Army, a powerful weapon and reliable ammunition were in need. So very soon under command of the chief designer Kotov, the plant mastered production of new kinds of military items and started to deliver stocks and carriages to mortars, bombs, shells and grenades for supplying army with weapon and ammunition. For successful work in war years most plant workers were honored with high state rewards. By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet Union dated of September, 16 1945 for successful tasks implementation in weapon and ammunition production in years of the Great Patriotic War, the plant was rewarded with The Order of Red Banner of Labor. The today’s generation has not forgotten the plant workers’ deed of valour. Close to the plant building the monument was erected in memory of the plant workers, who heroically laid down the life for the sake of Motherland liberty.

Today LGM is an innovation enterprise with rich experience of designing and producing of high quality pumps like series NTsV, NTsVS, NTsVp, KsB, 1RcV, BEN, AKh, TsN, NK, DN, DPZhN, NpkM. The sphere of our plant pumps application is extremely wide. They work successfully in diverse industries such as shipbuilding (for that particular application ship pumps are produced). Our pumps are also applied in nuclear power industry, space navigation, oil and petroleum industry, electric-power industry and chemical industry.

We strive to make the pumping equipment production more qualitative and reliable, so that our work deserved high trust level from part of our partners. Our professionalism and huge experience in pump building is our unquestionable priority in this industry.

All kinds of LGM industrial pumps have a perfect reputation for the quality proved by the time and heavy-duty use in diverse industries. All the pumps made in the LGM plant have got necessary conformity certificates and absolutely meet Russian Federal Standard requirements. Our scientific research as well as designing potential together let to consider LGM one of leaders of pumping industry in Russia producing items of demanded technical level. LGM stays in line with such pump producers as scientific-production association HydroMach, LivHydroMach, Kataiskii pump plant, Shchyolkovskii pump plant.

Today LGM the open joint-stock company is a modern enterprise effectively using accumulated experience and innovation equipment, improving produced pump models in strict compliance with all demanded requirements of productivity and quality.

LGM possesses the good production base fitted with modern equipment and highly qualified technical staff. The main assortment of produced equipment in its technical level matches the best world samples.

Advanced technology, modern equipment, unique designing solutions, strict system of production control, modern methods of tests guarantee high quality and reliable pumps work.

The closest attention we devote to the quality control of our products. New designing developments are directed for those goals, as well as introduction of modern technology and innovative part processing techniques.

LGM the company renders set of services in pump projecting, designing, testing, which guarantee delivery of the high quality and high competitive equipment. We create the pumps matching the highest international standards including international standard ISO.

Nowadays LGM steps up to international market. Constantly we participate in international and all-Russian exhibitions in area of pump building. LGM is an active member of Russian Pump Producers Association, chairman of which is Vladimir Karpovich Karakhanian. Our enterprise takes part constantly in events conducted by the Association. So every year we demonstrate the newest models of our production in the exhibition “Pumps. Compressors. Armature.” In course of the exhibition we actively speak out on conducted meetings and round-table conferences on perspectives and problems of pump building development in Russia.

LGM performs a number of major joint international projects in sphere of pump building. We work with partners from Canada, Japan and India. Our scientific researchers and design-engineering department conduct a work in creation of high-tech pumps for sea water, tank pumps, ship pumps and they do their best for meeting requirements of international pump building.

At the moment the presence of engineers and experienced workers enables LGM to produce 14 various pump groups counting about 200 product articles.

For today the main groups of pumps produced in LGM are:

• - impeller ship pumps of special designation for needs of Russian Navy. They are successfully used on high-tech ships like “Cornet” and “Frigate”, nuclear-power submarines “Yasen’” and “Borei”, as well as on other strategic objects.
• - impeller pumps for filling systems of launching complexes of military missiles and space rockets as well as for cryogenic technology.
• - pumps for heat and nuclear power plants.
• - pumps for chemical and petroleum-refining plants.
• - impeller pumps for energetic and watering installations and much more.

LGM invites for cooperation all interested persons and entities and hopes for a long fruitful joined work.
