Kharkiv Tractor Plant
The "Kharkiv Tractor Plant" (ChTS) is the largest tractor manufacturer in Ukraine. The first tractor rolled off the production line on October 1, 1931, which is why this day is considered the plant's birthday. As more and more specialists in various fields were needed to work in the huge and rapidly growing company, a new residential area was established in Kharkiv to house them. It was given the name ChTS after the plant. Over the years, the plant has produced more than 3 million tractors and other specialized heavy machines. For decades, the products manufactured by ChTS were sold on a large scale in the Soviet Union and in many countries in Europe, Asia and even Africa. Built in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the district of Novy Kharkiv, designed as a so-called Sozgorod, is situated around the Kharkiv tractor factory.
