Being invited to a tube-rolling factory one may ask: “What is so interesting in grey, dirty and plain workshops?” Well, in Chelyabinsk tube-rolling factory everything is a lot different. Following the previous post about this extraordinary Russian factory let’s have a tour along its bright and colorful workshops.

The shop “Vysota 239” (“Height 239”) was named so because of its location above the sea level.
