On February 29, 1916 - the ending of construction and installation of the process equipment.
On October 23, 1916 - start-up of Ekaterinburg refinery factory and the beginning of industrial production of pure platinum metals:
In 1922- palladium, in 1923-iridium, in 1925 - rhodium, in 1927-osmium, in 1928-platinum "Extra", in 1930-ruthenium.
In 1920-1930- an introduction of oxygen - hydrogen melting (1923), rolling (1925) and forging (1928); the start of platinum technical products - laboratory ware and thermocouple wire
In 1930-1940 - an improvement of refinery technologies; extension of products assortment.
In 1941- an evacuation of the factory "Platinapribor" from Moscow.
Manufacturing of products for defense purposes of the country. The share of metal processing had reached 77 %.
In 1941-1943 - a participation in establishment of "Krascvetmet" factory in Krasnoyarsk: transfer of refinery technologies, participation in start-up of the factory.
In 1946 - development of the first State standard on precious metals production - GOST 3193-46 "Catalyst gauzes of platinum alloys "
In 1950-60 introduction of a Central laboratory of the site. Development and introduction of progressive technologies of melting, casting, welding, heat treatment, and also rolling, drawing, punching of precious metals. Production of equipment for manufacturing of fiber glass.
For the first time in the USSR the methods of chemical compound of platinum alloys analysis had been introduced by a spectral method and by EMF measurement method.
In 1959- the site was appointed to be the base organization for standardization of precious metals, alloys and industrial products thereof by the resolution of Gosstandart (Since 1991 - Technical committee)

In 1982- State prize for development and introduction of new alloys for glass-making devices was given to a group of plant employees
By 1985 a production of fine platinum - palladium powders for electronics had reached 5 tons / year.
By 1986 a production of measured one-kilogram bars of gold had reached 3 tons a month.
After 45 years in 1987 the refinery of slime platinum was renewed (Deposit "Konder", Amur region)
In 1990 - an introduction of jewelry production. Start-up of age-hardened platinum metals and alloys industrial production.
In 1991-1995 development of new industrial area: the stone-cutting site and hydrometallurgical laboratory were incorporated.
In 1992 - introduction of a site on slime gold processing.
In 1993 - incorporation of an open joint-stock company "Ekaterinburg Non-Ferrous Metals Processing Plant". Development and introduction of an alternative managing system at the plant. The quality system for catalyst gauzes of platinum alloys had been recognized to conform to of DIN EN ISO of 9002 requirements.
In 1995- start-up of precious and semiprecious stones facet.
Production and release of the first platinum jewelry decorations. Introduction of the Sport and Cultural Center "Izumrud".
In 1992-1999 -improvement works on catalyst gauzes quality: electrochemical activation (1992), catching gauzes (1995), knitted gauzes (1999).
In 1998- introduction of Customer service in Moscow. Siberian fair rewards the platinum jewelry collection with a gold medal.
In 1999 -development of a site on slime processing, lining mass and spent catalysts in Verkhniaya Pyshma (the Urals' region).
Awarding of "Good Delivery " certificates on bars of gold, silver, platinum and palladium.
In 2000 - The largest collection in Russia of platinum articles (more than 300 items) was presented at an exhibition "Jeweller - 2000"
The collection of exclusive platinum decorations devoted to great Russian poets had become a sensation of the exhibition.
In 2001- the factory celebrated its 85-years anniversary.
A dentistry alloy on the gold basis (85-87 % Ag) had been developed.
In 2002- The company " Uraldragmet-holding " was incorporated. ENFPP is one its founders.
