History
editConstruction began in 1945, using forced labor, notably Polish Home Army prisoners. The first ZIS-150 (KAZ-150) truck rolled off its production line on August 18th, 1951.
In 2006, a majority part of the company synced with the Georgian Industrial Group and was named the Kutaisi Auto Mechanical Plant (KAMP).[1] Today, the factory produces a wide range of automotive industry parts,[2] including spare parts for agricultural machinery, ropeways, railways and mining equipment.[3]
