About
Vyatskie Polyany Machine Building Plant "Molot" ("Molot" means "Hammer") is a Soviet/Russian firearms and firearm accessories manufacturer. It was established in 1941 and during the World War II was the main manufacturer of PPSh-41 submachine guns. In the post-Soviet era it operated as Molot-Oruzhie Ltd. It went into bankruptcy in 2012 following a lawsuit by its main metal supplier, with debts of 2.4 billion roubles (roughly US$41 million) and has been controlled by a bankruptcy holding company since then. Sale of the company was announced in March of 2017, complicated by the fact that Molot has supply contracts with the Russian government: as yet it is unclear if it was purchased, or by whom.
