What TMP does

TMP (legal name JSC Tjazhmekhpress, also known as Voronezh Heavy Mechanical Presses Plant) is a Russian heavy-industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1953 and headquartered at 31 Solnechnaya St., Voronezh. The company designs and builds heavy mechanical crank hot forging presses ranging from 630 tf to a world-record 16,500 tf nominal capacity, automated press lines, sheet-metal stamping presses, and specialized complexes for railcar wheel repair, autoclaved aerated concrete production, V-belt vulcanization, and conveyor belt repair. Its product portfolio leverages proprietary crank-mechanism architecture, hydraulic tightening systems, automated control systems, and an integrated in-house foundry producing up to 30-ton grey iron and 5-ton bronze castings. TMP holds 28 patents granted to its Head Design Office over the last decade and is one of only five companies globally with the capability to manufacture presses exceeding 10,000 tf; eight of the seventeen crank hot forging presses above 12,000 tf built worldwide bear the TMP trademark.

The company sells on a direct enterprise basis through wholly-owned regional offices in North America, South America, Western Europe, Spain, Italy, India, and China, with flagship customer relationships including AvtoVAZ (70 operating presses), KamAZ (150 presses), TATA Motors, Forges de Courcelles (seven repeat presses), ThyssenKrupp, CINPAL, and Guilin Fuda. Revenue mechanics split across four streams: one-time capital equipment sales (heavy presses and automated lines), professional services (installation, commissioning, repair, modernization with 12-month warranty), custom metal processing (forging, gear cutting, mechanical treatment), and hardware sales from the foundry. Pricing is quote-based and undisclosed, reflecting the custom-engineered, project-based nature of mega-press contracts.

Approximately 13,000 TMP presses, automatic press lines, and automated complexes are operating in facilities across 54 countries, and the company has earned multiple industry awards including Gold Mercury International (1980), consecutive Best Russian Exporter awards in mechanical engineering (2009-2012), and "Best hot forging press of the year" at MetalForm China 2014. TMP was the first Russian machine-building enterprise to obtain ISO 9001 quality management certification in 1996, with subsequent TÜV recertification through 2012. The company maintains long-term technology-supplier partnerships with Siemens (PLC and servo control), Rexroth (hydraulics), TRABON (lubrication systems), and Maximator (high-pressure pneumatics) integrated into its press platforms.
