| The history of the

(BelOMA) springs from
foundation of the Minsk
Mechanical Works named
after S.I. Vavilov (MMW) in
1957 (the first products –
cameras and the machines
for optical instruments and
devices processing). In view
of expansion of production
volume and nomenclature of
the products being

Belarusian Optical and
Mechanical Association has
been founded on the basis
of the MMW named after S.I.
Vavilov.
BelOMA held the leading
position in the optical
branch of the USSR and
solved the tasks on

purpose items and the
consumer goods. The plants
which were parts of the
Association specialized in
production of particular
kinds of products:
BelOMA-MMW named after
S.I. Vavilov - extremely

theodolite equipment,
gyrostabilized Sights, Sights
for armoured vehicles, laser
guidance devices, industrial
portable and stationary film
projectors).
"Zenit" Works, city of
