Signal Production Association (Russian: ФГУП «Сигнал») is a company based in Chelyabinsk, Russia. It is part of NPO Pribor, a Techmash company (Rostec group).[1]

The Signal Production Association is a manufacturer of pyrotechnics and explosives that once produced for the military but is reported to have completely suspended defense production. It is now producing fireworks, batteries, household chemicals, items for restaurants and fire-fighting equipment.[2]

Operation

[edit]

In 2014 it was decided to merge the enterprise with the Kopeysky Plastics Plant with the transfer of all technological equipment to its territory. However this idea was later abandoned.

Currently the company produces a wide range of pyrotechnic products for various purposes:
