Moscow porcelain factory 'Isolator' ("Изолятор") was founded in 1899 by Ekaterina Chokolova. From the very start the factory specialized in electric insulators of different kinds.

They began experimenting with high-voltage porcelain in 1907-1910 but due to World War I and Revolution mass production only started in early 20's. This factory is actuve up to the present times and specializes in high-voltage bushings. Thanks to George Sukhoff for this company history.
