Cezary Franciszek Feliks Skoryna (Sielawa coat of arms, born 28 August 1840 in Warsaw, died 19 April 1903 in Nałęczów) was a Polish industrialist active in the milling machinery industry, social activist, and philanthropist.

Skoryna was deeply involved in social initiatives, participating in various municipal committees and pursuing philanthropic efforts as a private individual.

His parents were Krystian Walenty Skoryna (1805–1851), a millstone manufacturer in Warsaw's Praga district, and Klara Reymond (or Rajmund, 1819–1877),[1] who managed a tavern and inn on the factory premises after her husband's death.

[1] The scope of the business also expanded: in addition to traditional millstones, stones made from a specialized raw material with particularly good technological properties, imported for this purpose from France, were also produced.

[2] Furthermore, the factory became one of the first in the Congress Poland to start producing milling machines: devices for cleaning grain and cereals, driving components (steam and water motors, transmissions, shafts, gears, pulleys).

[1] The company also dealt in foreign goods, such as mill wheels, English leather transmission belts, and Swiss silk gauze.

[1][5] Skoryna supported his business with advertising, producing illustrated catalogs and promotional materials, including a comprehensive brochure with milling advice published in 1902.

[1] He cared for the impoverished residents of Praga, providing affordable loans from his own funds to small-scale traders without regard to their religious affiliation.

[1] As a representative of the city's citizens, he participated in the military draft commission, ensuring the conscription process adhered to legal standards.

[1][3][17] Kurier Warszawski commemorated him with a posthumous tribute, highlighting his pioneering role in the development of milling machinery in the Russian Partition and his extensive social contributions.

As noted by the author of the obituary: "He passed away universally mourned among industrial circles and the citizens of Praga, and deeply lamented by his subordinates and workers, for whom he was a protector and a father".

Its production included over a thousand millstones made from imported stone annually, alongside a wide range of milling machinery and their power systems.

[15] Additionally, historian Jarosław Zieliński indicates that the enterprise continued to operate during the interwar period under the name Joint-Stock Company for the Production of Machinery "Młynotwórnia".

Media outlets reported on the issue, noting that the Warsaw Heritage Conservator filed a complaint regarding suspected violations of preservation laws.
