Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32. The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

As it played a crucial role in supporting the war effort from 1941 to 1945, the interruptions caused by World War II temporarily halted the plant's development. After the war, SEIM refocused its efforts, specializing in the production of equipment necessary for the oil industry. This was the catalyst for a new era in the plant's history.

Today, SEIM has a sprawling area of 7.21 hectares, featuring modern production space including 22,508 m2 of covered buildings and 13,959 m2 of production workshops. The plant operates with modern machinery and up to 640 skilled workers.

In the 1920s, the importance of specialized enterprises in the oil industry was understood, and therefore reconstruction and technological modernization were carried out at SEIM in 1932-1934. It was during this period that the Mechanical Repair Plant was named after Budyonny. By that time, the workforce of the plant had reached 623 people.

In 1890, the Nobel brothers laid the foundation for a tradition that would last for generations in the area of the Balakhani mines. Their foresight led to the establishment of a repair shop in 1912, but the demands of the rapidly growing oil industry proved to be greater than the facilities of this plant. As a result, a new workshop was built in 1914, which laid the foundation for the development of SEIM.
