VIS-AVTO

VIS-AVTO, originally called VAZInterServices , is a Russian company owned by AvtoVAZ and focused on the manufacturing of Lada-based light commercial vehicles and vehicle conversion. A spin-off company of VAZInterServices, called also VAZInterServices or VIS, specialises in auto parts and is controlled by  United Automotive Technologies. Both VIS-AVTO and VIS are headquartered in Tolyatti, Samara Oblast.

History

VAZInterServices was founded in 1991 to produce parts for Lada cars and a pick-up truck based on them.[2] In 2003, the company became part of the SOK Group.[3] In 2008, the Russian government took control of VAZInterServices and other SOK Group assets by force.[4] In 2010, the control of VAZInterServices was transferred from AvtoVAZ to United Automotive Technologies, a holding company focused on supplying other manufacturers,[5] after it acquired a majority of SOK Group's VIS-Trust group, which included VAZInterServices. In 2011, AvtoVAZ bought VAZInterServices' vehicle manufacturing division. By 2013, it mostly finished the process of merging PSA Bronto into VAZInterServices, renaming it VIS-AVTO.[6]

From October 2014 to April 2015, VIS-AVTO assembled the Lada Niva Urban for its parent AvtoVAZ.[7] In 2021, it began producing a Bronto-badged Lada Niva Legend.[8] VIS-AVTO and AvtoVAZ partnered on production, with the former taking charge of main assembly and the latter of welding and painting.[9]

VIS operates as a supplier of auto parts, mainly for AvtoVAZ.[10] As of 2018, it is one of the nine companies of the United Automotive Technologies group.[11]
