The history of the company
SKADO group of companies (Samara Ropeways) was founded in September 1939. In September 2019, we celebrated our 80th anniversary.
The plant has been specializing in the production of metal constructions for ropeways since September 1963. SKADO is the only organization on the territory of the former USSR that has its own experience in the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of ropeways, accumulated over more than 50 years.
In the 1970s and 1980s, with our direct participation, cargo ropeways were built and put into operation for chemical plants, mining and processing plants and coal mines in various regions of the former USSR: in Lithuania, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Tajikistan, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine. A large cargo ropeway was also manufactured for Vietnam (city of Nghe Tinh (Nghệ Tĩnh). With the participation of SKADO, passenger ropeways were built in the cities of Kislovodsk, Yalta, Sochi, several ropeways in the Elbrus region, in Dombay, in the Chimbulak gorge and in other famous cities.
Over the past 15 years, SKADO together with Doppelmayr company (Austria) has built more than 400 different modern ropeways in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, and Mongolia.
For example, in 2000 in the Ural Mountains (city of Trekhgorny) the first six-seater detachable chairlift in Russia was built.
In 2003, not far from the city of Magnitogorsk (Lake Bannoye), the first ropeway in Russia with cabins detachable at stations was built.
In 2007, a unique combination lift was built on Sakhalin Island, where the possibility of simultaneous use of both chairs and cabins was realized. It was the first ropeway of this type, not only in Russia, but also in the world.
We are proud to have been the main contractor for the construction of ropeways for the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi.
