Elektrit Radiotechnical Society was the biggest private-run company in interwar Polish Vilnius . With over 1100 workers, the society produced approximately 50 thousand radio receivers yearly. A large part of the production was exported abroad, mostly to Sweden, Germany, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. The yearly turnover exceeded 1 million US dollars.
As one of the two major Polish radio producers and the only one in the area annexed by the Soviet Union after the invasion in 1939, the firm was nationalized and then dissolved. Its property was dismantled and transported to Minsk, where the "Vyacheslav Molotov" Radio Factory was set up. A large group of the engineers and skilled workers were also arrested and resettled in Minsk as forced labourers.
