For the needs of the front, for the war, 10 leading enterprises of Zelenodolsk worked: the Gorky plant, the Sergo plant, PFZ-Z, ZFZ-10, sleeper impregnation plant, Zeleny Dol station depot, industrial plant, garment factory, Bytovik artel, Bolshevik artel "

These enterprises produced military equipment, weapons, ammunition, warm winter clothing, cotton uniforms, camouflage suits, duffel bags, skis, leather boots, sleepers, aircraft plywood and many other products.
