Gomselmash[1] (trade name — Open Joint Stock Company "Gomselmash") is a Belarusian manufacturer of agricultural machinery based in Gomel.
History
[edit]The construction of an agricultural machinery plant in Gomel began in 1928.[2] October 15, 1930, is considered the birthday of the Gomselmash plant, when the foundry produced the first melt. The plant's reaching its design capacity and its successful operation in the 1930s allowed the USSR to completely abandon the import of dozens of types of machines for fodder production, grain farming, flax and hemp growing, primary processing of bast crops — now Gomselmash provided agricultural producers with such machines. In 1940, 18 out of 26 Gomselmash products were included in Soviet exports.
In May 2023, Ukraine imposed sanctions against GomSelMash[3] and the Gomel Plant of Casting and Normals,[4] its subsidiary. In August 2024, GomSelMash was added to the sanctions list of Canada.[5]
