The Susse Frères foundry and art publisher (founded in 1758) is the oldest French art foundry still in operation. Brothers Nicolas and Victor Susse were the first to cast bronzes in the family business, which specialized in the 1830s in the production of sculptures in bronze (sometimes in marble), using the lost-wax casting technique. It was a major foundry in the 19th century, producing sculptures by James Pradier, Antoine-Louis Barye, Ernest Barrias, Jules Dalou and Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux.

GUSTAFSBERG was a porcelain manufacturer in Stockholm, Sweden. Founded in 1826.
