Turning technology implemented

The foundation of Iskra ISD dates to 1941, when the premises of a textile factory Jugočeška was re-organized into production of metal components for aircrafts.

A few years later, in 1946, a former subsidiary of Luftfahrtgerätewerk, Berlin was renamed Iskra ("Spark"), a factory for electrical and precision mechanics.
