- PJSC Zvezda (ZVEZ.ME) develops, manufactures, sells, and services diesel engines for shipbuilding, rail transport, diesel generators, automated diesel power stations, reversal reduction gears, and other industrial units in Russia. The company provides mechanical engineering services including turning and gear machining, delivers spare parts, offers product repair, and conducts training for operation and maintenance personnel. It supplies products to the domestic market and exports primarily to Belarus and Ukraine, with operations focused on the Russian defense-industrial complex, including equipment for the Russian Navy, Strategic Missile Forces, and FSB Border Service. PJSC Zvezda, founded in 2003 and headquartered at 123 Babushkina Street, St. Petersburg, Russia, employs approximately 1,215 people and operates through several subsidiaries and affiliated companies. Recent developments include ongoing production of diesel engines, generators, and reverse-gear transmissions for advanced Russian Navy vessels such as projects 20380 Corvette, 21630 Buyan, 11711 Ivan Gren, and 21820 Dugong, supporting military shipbuilding needs. The company faces international sanctions from entities including the EU, UK, US OFAC, Canada, and others due to its role in Russia's defense sector amid geopolitical tensions. Note that PJSC Zvezda, the diesel engine manufacturer, is distinct from the Zvezda Shipbuilding Complex in Bolshoy Kamen, which recently obtained a worldwide license for LNG carriers but is not directly affiliated.
