Optical-mechanical plant "Jupiter" refers toa class of major manufacturers of optical products: night vision devices, observation devices, optical-electronic aiming systems. The pride of the enterprise is the sighting and observation day-night complex for the Ratnik ROC.
The Soviet era
The Jupiter plant was designed asspecial enterprise for the production of photographic lenses "Helios" for SLR cameras of the brand "Zenit" with an annual design capacity of 1.2 million lenses. The construction site is chosen picturesque Valdai region.
Датой основания завода считается 15 ноября 1967 of the year. Initially, the facilities were located in the rebuilt agricultural technical school of the city of Valday (Novgorod region). In 1969, the construction of the main buildings began. The first products were lenses GK-44-2.
В 70-х годах велось интенсивное развитие production, for workers built housing. The range of lenses included four families: "Cyclops", "Helios", "Mir", "Jupiter". By 1992, the Jupiter plant became a large industrial enterprise with more than 2,700 employees.
In market conditions
In 1999, the plant was acquired by the holding "Lank".In the same year, the development of night vision devices began with the help of its own design bureau. In 1999 and 2000, the enterprise was reconstructed, production was prepared for large-scale production of developed products.
In 2001, thanks to the strategica partnership with an American company engaged in the promotion of products, the Jupiter plant took a leading position in the global market for the supply of night vision devices. In 2006, production reached 76,000 pieces per year. 100% of the production was exported (mainly the USA, Japan, European countries).
In 2006, the production of automotive components was also mastered: a total of 10,700,000
products were delivered to the world's largest auto parts manufacturer TRV
Automotive from 2006 to 2009.Since the end of 2007, due to changes in foreign market conditions and the growth of the ruble exchange rate, the plant began reorienting production to domestic production: law enforcement agencies, the Emergencies Ministry, and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. In 2008-2010, a line of modern optical devices was developed, successfully tested and prepared for industrial production, which exceeds in its parameters not only domestic, but also a number of foreign analogues.
Characteristic
The territory of the plant "Jupiter" is 15.8 hectares. The total area of buildings exceeds 56,100 m2, of which the production area is 31385 m2. The machine park has 1,100 pieces of equipment.
Today, the plant remains among the flagshipsoptical industry. Although the volume of production relative to the Soviet period has declined, the quality of the products being developed remains consistently high. It is not surprising that many Valdai people are wondering how to get to the Jupiter plant for work. Employment matters in charge of personnel department. The company is always welcome to highly qualified executives.
Production
The team in 2015 won the competition and receivedAn important defense order for the development and supply of a multifunctional sighting and observation complex for the Ratnik design and development work. It allows you to track and aim in any time and weather conditions, in a wide range of temperatures, with reduced visibility.
Another unique product isTechnologically revolutionary holographic sights of the Valdai series. For their production, it was necessary to master new technological processes for the production of diffraction and hologram relief-phase elements for Russia.
Among other products manufactured at the Jupiter plant:
- Tools, equipment and accessories.
- Sights collimator series 1P87, PK120, PK130.
- Scopes holographic series "Valdai".
- Sighting complexes: 1PN137, Valdai DNPK.
- Sights NV NP110.
- Telescopes: ZT310, ZT410.
- Monoculars HB: 1PN138, MN120, MN230.
- HB binoculars.
- Nozzles HB: HH110, HH210.
- Thermal imaging nozzles: NT321, NT631.
- Devices special purpose.
- Lenses for NVD.
- Optical elements.
Prospects
В прошлом завод являлся крупнейшим производителем lenses "Helios" to cameras "Zenith". Production of turnstiles for metro and railway stations, payment terminals was mastered. There is experience in supplying products to the leading auto parts manufacturer TRW (up to 600,000 parts per month). In particular, reverse thrust components.
In the short term, the main focusthe activity of the OMZ "Jupiter" remains the production of a day-night sighting system (DNPK), developed by the plant and successfully tested optical-electronic reconnaissance and aiming tools. Also, the plant will focus on the production of collimator sights of the Krechet series, the proceeds from the implementation of which according to plans will be about 50% of the total revenue of the enterprise. Monoculars series "Lun" will provide 30% of the total revenue of the plant. The rest of the products will be a variety of accessories to the complex DNPK, night vision devices and other products.
