History
Since 2005, SeverstalAvto has been the owner of the ZMA (Russian: ЗМА, Завод малолитражных автомобилей) car factory in Naberezhnye Chelny, Russia. The factory was previously owned in part by KamAZ and was one of the production bases for the Lada Oka minicar. SeverstalAvto is listed in RTS Index.

In addition to the products of the Italian firm, SeverstalAvto is producing the SsangYong Rexton, an SUV model that the firm intends to also produce at the firm's UAZ plant.
