Stanisław Olszewski

Upon his return to Poland (Privislinsky Krai, Russian Empire), he became one of technical directors in the Lilpop, Rau i Loewenstein factory in Warsaw, and then the company's representative for all of Russian Empire.

He also served as a general secretary of three Russian technological syndicates and simultaneously started his own company in Sankt Petersburg.

In 1881–82, together with Nikolay Benardos, a Russian engineer, he developed a method of carbon arc welding patented in France in 1885 and in the US in 1887.

His body was then transported to Poland and buried at the Powązki Cemetery.
