In 2001 the enterprise celebrated its 60th anniversary. It dates back to June 26, 1941 when Mobile Aircraft Repair Shop #338 was established in Kharkov (Ukraine). The repair shop saw the Victory Day in Konigsberg. During four years of work, its workers and technicians reconditioned and returned to service 286 Yak-1, Su-2, Il-2 and Il-10 combat aircraft. Mobile Aircraft Repair Shop #338 was awarded the Order of the Red Star for feat of labor.

In 1953 the shop was moved to Baranovichi where a large air base was located. In 1958 the shop launched repair of the Il-28 frontline bombers and in 1961 it was engaged in the repair of the Tu-16 longrange missile-carrying bombers. As a result, the repair shop became a full scale enterprise designated Aircraft Repair Plant #558.

In the 1970s the enterprise proceeded with repair of third-generation aircraft: Su-17 fighter-bombers and their export versions designated Su-20 and Su-22.
In the 1980s the plant mastered repair of fourth-generation aircraft.
