History

The structure for the plant was built using forced labor by political prisoners from camps set up immediately after the Second World War.3

Its name is derived from Livarna in tovarna strojev, meaning "Foundry and Machine Factory" in Slovene.4 Litostroj Street (Litostrojska cesta) in Ljubljana is named after the company.

Following the dissolution of the original Litostroj company in the early 1990s, the hydroelectric equipment division continued operating as Litostroj E.I.5 In 2003, the company joined the Cimos Group and renamed to Litostroj Power.5

The company later acquired Czech hydroengineering firm ČKD Blansko Engineering and invested in hydraulic research laboratories in Blansko.6
