Company Profile
 TAM (formerly Tbilisi Aircraft State Association) was established on December 15,
1941.
 TAM is one of the largest military aircraft manufacturers in the former Soviet. Over
65 years, TAM had produced mostly fighter aircrafts, including LaGG-3, Yak-15,
Yak-17, Yak-23, Yak-23, MiG-15, MiG-17, MiG-21, and most notably, a close support
aircraft Su-25 (known in the west as the “Frog foot”).
 More than 800 Su-25s have been delivered to the customers worldwide. TAM has
always been the only manufacturer of this type of aircraft in the world.
 Along with military aircrafts, TAM has been manufacturing K-10 air-to-surface
guided missile. It has also pioneered in the large scale production of air-to-air R-60
and R-73 IR guided missiles.
 In the mid 1980s, TAM participated in the space program “BURAN” (the Soviet
equivalent of the Space Shuttle) by manufacturing and assembling various parts.
 In the late 1990s, TAM and the Georgian Space Construction Institute designed and
produced the space antenna-reflector, which was successfully installed on the
Russian MIR space station.

Company Profile
 In 1999, TAM began process of business diversification: engineering and production
of business jets, and production of the civil goods.
 In March 2002, TAM became a Joint Stock Company with 100% government’s
ownership.
 In 2003, “Tbilaviamsheni” LLC (parent company) obtained management rights to
100% of government’s shares of JSC TAM. The former was formed by the TAM top
management.
 2004 - 2005, 90% of the government’s shares of JSC TAM were privatized and
“Tbilaviamsheni” LLC became the owner.
 In 2010, TAM became the government company and is currently involved in the
manufacturing and repair of military aviation production.
 Currently TAM employs 990 workers.
