Short History
On 1 February 1927, the production of children's toys was established as part of the Minsk District Association of Labor Collectives of the People's Commissariat of the BSSR. This is how the Vozrozhdeniye factory producing children's toys appeared. In addition to toys, the Vozrozhdeniye factory workshops were producing crockery and wicker furniture.
In 1930, the factory became part of the Belmetalloobedinenie of the Supreme Council of the National Economy of the BSSR. It was renamed the Udarnik plant specialized in the production of scales. It also mastered the production of steelyards and nickel-plated locks.
During the Great Patriotic War, the Udarnik plant was completely destroyed. In 1944-1946, the plant was actively restored, and soon the production of the entire pre-war range of goods was launched. From 1946 to 1950, new buildings of the Udarnik weight plant were built.
In 1951, the Udarnik plant was transferred to the Ministry of Road and Construction Engineering of the USSR. The production of road and earth-moving machines was a new technical profile of the enterprise. A Special Design Bureau for the design of road machines was established.
In 1952, the production of the first road machines began. The Udarnik plant cooperated with more than 350 enterprises of the USSR. The plant's products were exported to 16 countries worldwide. The machines manufactured at the Udarnik plant were demonstrated at 15 international exhibitions and fairs.
In 1957, the first powder metallurgy laboratory in the BSSR was arranged at the plant. In 1964, the Pilot Plant SKB-2 manufacturing and testing prototypes of reclamation and road machines was built.
In 1972, the production of wheel loaders began at the Udarnik plant. In 1975, the Minsk Research and Production Association of Road Engineering (Dormash Association) was established. It included SKB Meliormash (later SKB Dormash) and the Experimental Plant of SKB Meliormash (later the Pilot Plant of the Dormash association).
In 1983, the Udarnik plant was included in the Minsk Scientific and Production Association of Road Engineering. A year later, the Volzhsky Plant of Components and Assemblies (Volzhsk, Russia) and the Saratov Plant of Construction Machines (Saratov, Russia) joined the association.
1987 was a significant year in the history of the Udarnik plant - the 1000th anniversary loader was assembled. The Minsk Research and Production Association of Road Machine Engineering continued to expand: in 1988, the Andropov Plant of Road Machines (Andropov, now Rybinsk, Russia) became part of it.
In 1990, the Minsk Udarnik plant and the Minsk Scientific and Production Association of Road Engineering established a small Dormashmet enterprise.
In 1991, the Oryol Loader Plant (Orel, Russia) became part of the Minsk Scientific and Production Association of Road Engineering. A small Agregat enterprise producing unified hydromechanical transmissions was established.
By a joint decision of the Ministry of Heavy Engineering of the USSR and the Minsk Scientific and Production Association of Road Engineering, the JSC Amkodor was established by transforming the latter.
On the premises of the Molodechno Mezhrayagropromtekhnika, the LLC Unikab Plant was established which became part of the JSC Amkodor (now - the CJSC Amkodor-UNIKAB).
The core activity of the plant is the production of cabins for all models of machines.
In 1992 the JSC Amkodor was renamed into the Amkodor group company.

In 2004, the JSC Amkodor-Udarnik was renamed into the JSC Amkodor.
In 2012, the JSC Amkodor was renamed into the JSC AMKODOR, holding managing company, and registered in the State Register of Holdings.

In July 2018, in order to provide the trade and service centers of the AMKODOR holding with original spare parts, the LLC AMKODOR-Component was established. Based on the Tashkent Plant of Agricultural Machines, Uzbekistan established an enterprise of the AMKODOR holding, the JV LLC AMKODOR-AGROTEXMASH producing road-construction and special-purpose machines for the ex-Soviet Central Asia countries.
In 2019, seven models of special-purpose machines of the JSC AMKODOR, holding managing company, became laureates of the Best Goods of the Republic of Belarus contest. The CJSC Amkodor-Pinsk was twice awarded for achievements in the field of quality.
