Description

Founded on November 5, 1871 by the Jewish industrialist Anton Lessing to take over the machine factory of the brothers Amand and Gustave Struve in Kolomna (Moscow Governorate). The production program included: locomotives, wagons, narrow-gauge railways, steamships, barges, bucket wheel excavators, steam engines, pumps, oil and gas-powered engines, traction engines, steam rollers, steam boilers, bridge structures as well as a wide variety of semi-finished products and forged parts made of steel, cast iron and copper. In 1908, the factory, which in addition to the actual machine factory in Kolomna also included an iron foundry in the village of Kulebakino in the Nizhny Novgorod district, employed 10,000 workers. It achieved a turnover of 15,000,000 rubles. (source: HSK auction, June 2024)
