The company was founded in Taganrog in 1934[citation needed] as OKB-49 by Georgy Mikhailovich Beriev, and since that time has designed and produced more than 20 different models of aircraft for civilian and military purposes, as well as customized models. Today the company employs some 3000 specialists and is developing and manufacturing amphibious aircraft.
Georgy Mikhailovich Beriev founded the design bureau that bears his name at Taganrog in 1932.[citation needed] The traditional focus of the Beriyev Design Bureau has been the development of seaplanes for military and civilian use. The Bureau was moved to Krasnoyarsk in Siberia in 1942 to avoid destruction in World War II, and returned to Taganrog in 1945.[1] In November 1989, Beriev became the only defense industry enterprise to win the Prize for Quality awarded by the Soviet Government.[2]
