The Kutaisi Auto Mechanical Plant (KAMP) (Georgian: ქუთაისის ავტომექანიკური ქარხანა, romanized: kutaisis avt'omekanik'uri karkhana), formerly Kutaisi Automobile Plant (Georgian: ქუთაისის საავტომობილო ქარხანა, romanized: kutaisis saavt'omobilo karkhana; Russian: Кутаисский Автомобильный Завод, romanized: Kutaisskij Awtomobilnyj Zawod) or KAZ (Russian: КАЗ) for short, is a truck factory located in Kutaisi, Georgia.

History

Construction began in 1945, using forced labor, notably Polish Home Army prisoners. The first ZIS-150 (KAZ-150) truck rolled off its production line on August 18th, 1951.

In 2006, a majority part of the company synced with the Georgian Industrial Group and was named the Kutaisi Auto Mechanical Plant (KAMP).[1] Today, the factory produces a wide range of automotive industry parts,[2] including spare parts for agricultural machinery, ropeways, railways and mining equipment.[3]
