Nizhny Tagil is the second largest city in the Sverdlovsk Region, a major industrial and cultural centre of the Middle Urals, founded in 1722 by Tula merchants and industrialists Nikita Demidov and Akinfiy Demidov.
Thanks to the construction of Nizhny Tagil iron works in the 18th century, Russia first entered the world market as an industrial power with high-quality metal. In the second half of the 18th century, about two-thirds of the Demidovs’ iron was exported. Tagil sheet copper, metal with the trademark ‘Old Sable’, malachite, gold and platinum served as a basis for the industrial development and prosperity of Russia.
For almost three hundred years of history, the city has developed highly energy-intensive industries, such as ferrous metallurgy and metalworking, chemistry, the light and food industries. The key industries account for 95.4% in the overall output of local products. The city was and remains Russia’s steel stronghold and defensive shield. This is the largest industrial centre created owing to the power of the Demidovs’ old iron works and modern giant enterprises.
