"The factory is like a front, work is like a war!" – these words illustrate the feat of all home front workers. They could also serve as a motto for the workers of plant No. 636, who made a significant contribution to the Victory.
Since 1941, a number of enterprises have been evacuated to the Tyumen region. Among them, there was the Moscow plant No. 94 and the Dneprodzerzhinsk Plastic Plant. On the basis of these productions, the Tyumen Plastics Plant of the Main Department of the Plastics Industry of the People's Commissariat of Chemical Industry of the USSR was created. The plant's activities were of a specific nature, closely related to the aviation and tank industry (the plant produced liquid bakelite of various resins as a binder). To accommodate the evacuated factories , more than 70 thousand meters were re-equipped and re-built for the production areas in the amount of 20 million rubles. The first head of plant No. 636 was the famous chemist-technologist Grigory Akhalai. Under his leadership, the team managed to develop a project of a resin workshop with a capacity of 6000 tons per year in a short time. Thanks to the hard work of the employees, it was possible to carry out the installation of the resin shop ahead of schedule and promptly produce products.
In 1944, the production of benelite resins necessary for aviation plywood was started. In 1945, the plant began producing civilian plastic products, about 400 items of goods. After the end of the war, the company finally changed its profile. In 1948, the plant was given the name "Plastics Plant". In 2005, the complex received the status of an identified object of historical and cultural heritage. In early 2014, it became known that the building was being demolished...
State-owned wine warehouses were built in 1902 on Galitsynskaya Street (now Pervomayskaya) near the railway station. The warehouse buildings were an example of unique industrial architecture.
It was the first vodka factory in Tyumen which a railway line was connected to. Vodka production was mechanized.
After the revolution, the purpose of the warehouses did not change, they were renamed the city distillery warehouses.
In 1941, evacuated Moscow No. 94 and Dneprodzerzhinsk aviation varnish factories were located in the warehouse premises. The distillery was transferred to the building of the Elijah Church. After the end of the Great Patriotic War, in 1948, the plant was given the name "Tyumen Plastics Plant" and transferred to the manufacture of civilian products. Furniture varnishes and plastic products, including children's toys, were produced.
Throughout its history, a large number of advanced technologies for its time were introduced within the walls of the Tyumen Plastics Plant, a research center appeared.
In 2013, the plant was officially liquidated, and in March 2014, the building was demolished.
