Immediately after the end of the Great Patriotic War, the Department of Plants of "Lentransproekt" (since 1951 - "Lengiprotrans") developed a project for the reconstruction of a casting and mechanical plant for the production of containers in Kaunas.
The restoration of factories destroyed during the war was an urgent task on which the work of industry and, in particular, rail transport depended. In this regard, design work began, as a rule, immediately after the liberation of the cities and was carried out at the restoration site by small expeditions made up of employees of the institute.
Simultaneously with the restoration, the projects provided for a wide reconstruction of factories on the basis of modern technological processes and equipment at that time.
