History

Plaque stating the construction dates.

Lugcentrokuz is one of the various companies founded from the existing steam locomotive factory in Luhansk that was built by the German entrepreneur Gustav Hartmann. A steam forge was one of its first departments.[1]

After the Ukrainian War of Independence, up until 1991, Lugcentrokuz was a part of this factory and was best known as the October Revolution Locomotive Factory (after the October Revolution).

An extensive rebuild of the Luhansk factory was undertaken during 1928–1933 by the construction board, Luhanbud, during which the present company's central premises were reconstructed.

During the 1970s, the Luhansk locomotive factory produced up to 1500 locomotive units a year, 96% of which were main-line diesels.

The majority of Lugcentrokuz's exports went to Eastern Germany, Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria,Egypt, Syria, India, Iran, Mongolia, North Korea and Cuba. Altogether, a total of 4000 main-line diesel locomotives were exported to countries outside of the Soviet Union.[2]

Present Day

After regaining Ukrainian Independence in 1991, a separate company under the name of "Luhansk Central Forging Factory" was founded, based on the press forging department. In 1992, it gained its current name.

During the next several years, several new manufacturing techniques were introduced, which included electric arc steel furnacing, die manufacturing, mechanical assembling, leaf spring manufacturing and a testing center.

As of 2013, the export countries are:[3] Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Zambia, India, Indonesia, Spain, Kazakhstan, Canada, China, Germany, Pakistan, Poland,Russia,Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Finland, Czech Republic and Switzerland.
