The All-Russian Institute of Light Alloys (Russian: Всероссийский институт лёгких сплавов «ВИЛС»), formerly the Vils Scientific Production Association is a company based in Moscow, Russia. Rostec is the largest shareholder, controlling 39% of the institute.[1]
The VILS Scientific Production Association consists of the All-Russian Institute of Light Alloys, the Light Alloy Works, and the Zubtsov Engineering Plant. It is one of several metallurgical organizations which developed and manufactured semi-finished products from steel, aluminum, magnesium, titanium, nickel and super alloys for the Soviet Ministry of the Aviation Industry. VILS markets extrusions, forgings and semi-finished metallurgical products as well as laminated and composite materials, special coatings for tools, and designs for metallurgical equipment.[2]
History[edit]
The history of the All-Russian Institute of Light Alloys begins in 1929, when, by order of the Supreme Council of the National Economy of the USSR, the newly built special plant for the production of mail aluminum of the Gospromtsvet Trust was given the name Plant No.45.
In July of 1929 under the leadership of the first director N. P. Zaborov, a plant was laid near the town of Kuntsevo, at the Setun railway platform. On July 1, 1933 the plant entered into operation of existing enterprises.
Given the particularly important defense importance of metalworking enterprises, Plant No.45 was transferred to a group of factories of military importance and equated in all respects to factories of the military industry. The products were intended primarily for the creation of fuselages of all-metal aircraft.
During the Great Patriotic War, the plant was evacuated to the Urals, to the city of Verkhnyaya Salda, where archival documents are located.
By Order of the Minister of Aviation Industry No. 96 dated February 21, 1955, a special design bureau (OKB-65) was organized at the plant to develop new technological processes for the production of parts, products and semi-finished products for aviation and engine plants and to create new equipment for aviation industry plants, which marked the beginning of a new stage in accelerating the development of special metallurgy in the USSR.
On August 24, 1961 by Order No.290 of the State Committee of the Council of Ministers of the USSR on Aviation Technology, the existing pilot plant No. 65 was given the name "All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Technology of Light and Special Alloys" (later — "All-Union Institute of Light Alloys").
By Order of the Ministry of Industry of the RSFSR dated December 16, 1991 No.170, the NGO "All-Union Institute of Light Alloys" was transformed into the "All-Russian Institute of Light Alloys".
In accordance with the order of the State Committee of the Russian Federation for State Property Management dated 01/19/1993 No.85-R on the basis of the Law of the Russian Federation "On Privatization of State and Municipal Enterprises in the Russian Federation", the State Program for Privatization of State and Municipal Enterprises of the Russian Federation for 1992, the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation "On organizational measures for the transformation of State enterprises into joint-stock companies" dated 01.07.92 No.721 the state enterprise "All-Russian Institute of Light Alloys" has been transformed into the open joint stock company "All-Russian Institute of Light Alloys".
