Kharkiv Bearing Plant (Ukrainian: Харківський підшипниковий завод) is an industrial enterprise located in Kharkiv, Ukraine. It is one of the largest manufacturers of bearing products (ball bearings and cylindrical roller bearings) in the CIS and the only plant in Ukraine that produces bearings for railway transport. The plant occupies an area of 45.54 hectare History of Kharkiv Bearing Plant (1945—1991) The construction of the bearing plant in Kharkiv, designated as the "8th State Bearing Plant," began in late 1944. It became the first enterprise in the bearing industry built on the territory of the Ukrainian SSR. Following the end of World War II, the restoration of the national economy commenced, leading to a sharp increase in demand for various types of bearings, differing in design, load capacity, and purpose. By winter, the first production building was completed. Materials and equipment were sourced from the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Bearing Plants, which at that time had significant experience in organizing production and manufacturing bearings. Specialists in turning, grinding, and tool-making arrived from Moscow, Kuibyshev, and Saratov to assist in the setup of the facility. On September 1, 1946, the factory staff mastered the production of the first three types of bearings: 203, 307, and 408. The commissioning of the first phase of the plant occurred ahead of schedule on November 1, 1947. By that time, the plant was already producing 14 types of bearings and had delivered 200,000 units to the state. In 1950-1951, the factory underwent modernization. The engineers focused on two primary tasks: improving product quality and enhancing labor productivity. Key innovations included the creation of machines for polishing bearing rings, systems for mechanical chip processing, a transportation system for delivering bearings from assembly to packaging, and preservation units. The plant was characterized by rapid development and increased production volumes. Over the seven-year period from 1959 to 1965, production volume more than doubled. In 1964, preparations began for establishing automated production lines for processing wagon bearing rings and modernizing the forging process. As a result, the plant became the leading enterprise in the USSR for the production of wagon bearings. On August 20, 1966, the factory was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor for successfully mastering the production of new products. By 1967, the plant was one of the first in Kharkiv to implement elements of production aesthetics, including greening over 50% of its territory with thuja and silver fir plantings, installing flower beds and fountains, and creating a wall panel designed by graduates of the Kharkiv Art and Industry Institute in the main building. In 1967, the plant produced 250 types of bearings, weighing from 350 grams to 45 kilograms, for agricultural machinery, automobiles, railway rolling stock, and aviation technology. This achievement earned the factory a commemorative Red Banner from the Communist Party of Ukraine in the same year. During the Ninth Five-Year Plan (1971—1975), a comprehensive reconstruction of the plant's production base took place. This included the establishment of integrated mechanized workshops and the commissioning of 38 automated lines. Progressive technological processes were implemented in 130 operations, which allowed for a 38% increase in labor productivity. As of early 1979, the plant produced 400 types of bearings, ranging in weight from a few grams to 45 kilograms. These bearings were supplied to various industries within the USSR and exported to 40 countries worldwide. In the 1980s, the Kharkiv Bearing Plant emerged as the leading supplier of wagon bearings in the country. Production was organized on 32 automated lines dedicated to turning, grinding, and heat treatment processes. During this time, new industrial buildings were also constructed. By 1985, over 100 automated lines were operational at the plant, producing approximately 400 different sizes of bearings used in agricultural machinery, the automotive industry, locomotive and carriage manufacturing, and the electrical engineering sector. In 1994, the enterprise was reorganized into an open joint-stock company named "Kharkiv Bearing Plant" (Харьковський підшипниковий завод, ХАРП). In May 1995, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine included the plant in the list of enterprises slated for privatization within that year. By August 1997, the factory was recognized as having strategic importance for the economy and security of Ukraine. In 1999, the Industrial Group UPEC acquired its first significant stake in the Kharkiv Bearing Plant, becoming its main shareholder. The American company "SigmaBlazer" opposed this acquisition. From January 2000, HARП became part of the Industrial Group UPEC. With the arrival of the new investor, the plant experienced a qualitative leap in production and sales through the introduction of new technologies and improvements in management systems. Notable developments include: In 2000, production at the Kharkiv Bearing Plant underwent an audit by the international certification organization TUV CERT, which confirmed that the plant's production technology met the ISO 9002 standard. This period also saw the introduction of new types of bearings. In 2001, LLC "UPEC TRADING" was established as the exclusive distributor of Kharkiv Bearing Plant products. Trade representative offices were organized, and an effective dealer network was created. The plant also restored trade relations with major companies such as "Rostselmash," the Volga Automobile Plant, and the Minsk Tractor Works. Additionally, the largest investment project for modernizing production at the Kharkiv Bearing Plant in the Kharkiv region was approved. ·  2002: The plant expanded its product range and increased production volumes. New long-term contracts were signed with major companies such as JSC "AvtoVAZ," the joint venture "AvtoZAZ-DAEWOO," and other large industrial enterprises. Sales volumes increased, and a new corporate identity was developed and implemented. The first phase of technical re-equipment and modernization of the Kharkiv Bearing Plant was completed as part of an investment project. ·  2003: The plant achieved a 23% increase in production volumes compared to 2002, producing a total of 22.293 million bearings. ·  Early 2004: The Kharkiv Bearing Plant mastered the production of over 500 types of ball and roller bearings with diameters ranging from 30 to 320 mm. ·  2006: The plant increased its net income to 229.7 million hryvnias but ended the year with a loss of 13.6 million hryvnias. ·  2007: The plant began producing hot-stamped and turned semifinished products and components for automotive, railway, and industrial bearings. Net income rose to 311.5 million hryvnias, though the plant still faced a loss of 4 million hryvnias for the year. ·  2008-2010: A comprehensive automation system for design and technological preparation, along with computer support for machine engineering production (KSA), was implemented at HARP and other enterprises in the UPEC group. ·  2009: HARP certified and commenced serial production of a new development—a dual rolling bearing of closed type (referred to as the "cylindrical cassette" CRU-duplex). This product was designed for installation in freight wagon axle boxes with a load capacity of 23.5 tons-force. ·  2010: The Open Joint Stock Company "Kharkiv Bearing Plant" ended the year with a net income of 648.108 million hryvnias, reflecting a 34.2% increase compared to 2009. The plant reported a profit of 13.94 million hryvnias for the year, down from 35.5 million hryvnias in 2009. ·  2011: The plant underwent transformation into a Public Joint Stock Company "Kharkiv Bearing Plant." As part of a reconstruction program for its production base, the plant installed four new CNC (Computer Numerical Control) lathes from the Taiwanese company "Goodway" in March. In October, two disc saws for producing ball bearing rings were acquired from the German company "Behringer." Additionally, in June, the plant ordered three heat treatment furnaces for tempering railway bearing rings from the Polish company "Seco/Warwick," with the first unit received in the summer of 2012. ·  2014: During the second half of the year, the plant experienced a decline in production volumes. ·  2015: The reduction in production continued into the first half of the year. ·  End of 2015: The plant updated its laboratory equipment, introducing new instruments for eddy current testing of surface defects in roller bearing rings of the type PVK-KM2. ·  March 2016: The plant began producing housing bearing assemblies and bearings for imported agricultural machinery featuring enhanced sealing "X-SHIELD.
