| 12History | The Rogers Paper Manufacturing Company was founded in
Manchester, Connecticut, by Dutch immigrant Peter Rogers in 1832.
Due to ill health, Rogers transferred the business to his 19 year old son, Henry Ellsworth Rogers. Theelder Rogers died in 1841. Henry Rogers improved the paper-making process and expanded the business from one mill to a complex of factories. In addition, he discovered a method for recycling used paper by using a bleach to remove the ink. The process was never patented, however, and other paper manufacturers began to utilize his technique. Henry Rogers died in 1896, and the company was taken over by his son, Knight, and later his daughter, Gertrude. In 1900, the Rogers Company began supplying insulated paperboard to electrical transformer manufacturers. The company incorporated in 1901, but thereafter, the company stagnated. It was taken over by a group of Boston financiers and incorporated in Massachusetts in 1927. |
