The plant was founded in 1736 by Vasily Tatishchev as a copper smelter and named after the Motowilicha (also Bolschaja Motowilicha, Grosse Motowilicha) river, which flows into the Kama and whose water power it used. A larger workers' settlement of the same name was built around the plant . In the middle of the 19th century, an ironworks and a cannon factory were built in the neighborhood, which were combined with the copper works in 1871 as Permskije puschetschnyje zavody ("Perm Kanonenwerke"). The copper smelter ceased operations in 1876.
During the Second World War, the Motowilicha works became one of the most important armaments factories in the Soviet Union . In 1992 the company was converted into an open joint stock company (OAO). The Russian state has a 25% share in the group through Rosoboronexport .
