The Foundry "O. I. Lehmann" in St. petersburg was opened by a German entrepreneur, Franz Joseph (Osip Ivanovich) Lehmann. 
Lehmann was engaged in the manufacture of fonts, having brought the latest techniques and invited well-known artists. His fonts were very popular. In 1899 he expanded his works and opened a factory in Zvenigorod, 20, St. Petersburg. He built a five-story building and began his operation..... the building still operates to this day.
