Nevinnomyssk Azot is a regular supplier of chemical components to NPO Iskra, one of Russia’s largest machine-building enterprises, which designs and manufactures solid-fuel rocket engines and their components for various missile systems.

In addition, the plant supplies raw materials used in the production of powerful explosives – RDX and HMX – to the Sverdlov Plant in Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod region.

These explosive materials are used in the production of artillery shells and missile warheads.
