Autotor or collect cars in Kaliningrad
The author writes, anyasans:
The will of fate happened to be on Avtotore near Kaliningrad. Autotor - a group of companies manufacturing cars from components and assemblies of foreign manufacture.
To be honest, I already knew that in Kaliningrad collect the car (at least because modern Chevrolet Aveo comes from the Kaliningrad region), but honestly believe that this is one of the plants of General Motors.
In fact it turned out it's not quite true.
Autotor - Russian company, which contracts with automotive companies KIA Motors, BMW AG, General Motors, on the basis of franchising.
Under each agreement with global manufacturers realized some investment projects, total investment to date exceeds 380 million. Euro.
The plant uses 2 types of auto assembly: the first group, such as BMW come to the plant components we can only collect designer,
and the second group, such as the Chevrolet assembled at full cycle, including welding and painting. Here is where the fun begins. The only pity is that in most parts of the plant is strictly forbidden to photograph: the plant (as in most enterprises) are afraid of failure photographic technique that can remove the plant from vspyyshkoy, resulting photosensitive fire safety system immediately switches off the electricity stops and shops. But first things first.
At the entrance of the plant we met Oleg I., Deputy Director of Human Resources. And then he drew our attention to the temple in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary "Perishing", erected in memory of the victims on this earth during the Great Patriotic War. Previously, the territory of modern Autotor there were German concentration camps, where as a result of the inhuman conditions of detention and attempts to escape, killing many of our compatriots.
The temple stands on a picturesque pond pond. In the pond, with the words of our escort, a lot of fish at least once every 2 years to throw him fry (though this does not need to), and in the summer the pond is surrounded by numerous fishermen. And every year there is a competition between shops for the best catch.
And here's own workshop, the roads along which tested freshly machines. Sorry, darkish left photo: it was already 7:00 pm.

We went into the shop welding. Or «Body shop» Each shop signed names are duplicated in English. Paint Shop - «Body paint shop» /
For wires, however, there is little to see. Each stage of assembly machines is divided into operation, or contacts. Have their own regulations. For example, the average value of 1 cycle Welding - 7.5 minutes.

After assembling the body of the car is inspected for defects. Here, working girls. They no longer trust. Only they can observe defects where even an experienced male eye will miss minor dents.
At this stage the machine weighs somewhere 550-600 kg. Feather, so to speak. Therefore, it is easy to move on a trolley in the next sector for painting.
...
The next workshop, in which we had a chance to inspect the production cars are already painted. Movement of computerized machines. At what blanks are stored under the ceiling and through the pipeline coming down. Here ends the assembly: the wheels, engine, etc ... Time clock 1 - 5.5 minutes. Each line - its model, the brand. Unfortunately, the photograph is strictly prohibited. Saw her Aveshku assembly was glad for it.
During the tour of the factory strongly felt concern for the staff. The plant tends to get people, appreciates their work, and the competition for the plant high enough: at the entrance queues regularly. Everywhere there are benches "For valorous work" hang performance of each department (basically, the plan is executed, the chart is colored green. But there is a red-yellow traffic light spots), information stands on remuneration schemes.
The largest number of cups for the quality of work just in the welding shop.
At the factory proud of the quality of the machines: 88 out of 100 tested for quality without further modifications, which is higher than the German 82 out of 100. The Germans and other foreign auditors brand-keepers at the factory are angry, but recognize that in Russia, the build quality is higher than the German.
Machine factory to an individual not to buy: sale through dealers only. Only employees of the plant, if it worked at the company for more than 3 years, he has an opportunity to buy a car at wholesale factory price. Working more than 3 years is compensated 10% per annum of the amount of the mortgage loan (actually no less than 500 thousand rubles for 5 years). Paid 13th salary in the exponential scale depending on the number of years of work in the enterprise.
And here is the dining room. Lunch costs 14 rubles. The rest is paid now.
...
But in the end, we participated in a test drive Cadillac Escalade. Roller coaster rest
