That's one of entrances of the ABB campus. ABB among other things makes BIG electrical equipment, e.g. transformers for power stations or (as in this pic) wind turbine generators, so in that area from time to time you see long semi-trailers carrying such monsters.

Anyway no, it's not that frequent to see business signs in Russian, but I guess it helps for truck drivers to have an indication of the *correct* entrance in their native language (note that it's not just 'a building', it's a huge area with several accesses).
EDIT: To clarify my point, few meters away there is also a 'NO ENTRANCE' sign in English+Russian.
