History
editThe company was founded in 1935 as Workshop. In 1941 the plant was evacuated to Kuibyshev, where engines for the attack aircraft IL-2 were produced.[1]
After World War II the plant was returned to Mogilev and produced locomotives, steam-powered machinery, overhead cranes, and tank lorries based on GAZ-51 lorries. In 1958 the factory started the production of the single-axle MAZ-529, developed by the Minsk Automobile Plant (MAZ).[2]
In 2006 the factory became a branch of JSC "BelAZ", which has been a branch of "BelAZ-Holding" since 2012. Most MoAZ vehicles are exported; more than 85% of the produced vehicles are sold in CIS member states.[citation needed]
