About this report

Lozova Forging-Mechanical Plant LLC is a Ukrainian heavy-manufacturing enterprise based in Lozova, Kharkiv Oblast, and part of the private UPEC Industrial Group. Its public defence relevance is concentrated in the land-systems sector, particularly in the production of hulls, transmissions and related mechanical components for light armoured vehicles.

The company’s role is most clearly documented through its involvement in the BTR-4 supply chain, where public sources identify it as a specialised industrial supplier rather than a final platform designer or prime contractor.
