The plant was given this sign in 1971. <br />The plant story began in 1842, when Mikhail Terebin started in Palovo a small workshop producing kitchen knives. The workshop grew in a plant. In 1908, two sons of Mikhail Terebin (their names - Vasily and Alexey) founded a Trade House "Terebin & Sons", that turned out very prosperous and soon they had some branches in neighbouring towns.<br />After The October Revolution (1917), Vasily lost his famous plant (Alexey had died before that year), for it was nationalised and became state owned enterprise in 1918. Thereafter, the plant saw some new names - initially "The Plant named after worker Marasanov" (1918 - 1929), and subsequently - "Pavlovsky Instrumental Plant" (1929 - 1971), Locksmith-Mounting Instrument Plant (1971 - 2011)<br />Now, again, it is known as "Pavlovsky Instrumental Plant", tools production goes on.
