- Gilbert Paper Company was established by William Gilbert Sr. in Menasha, Wisconsin on April 27, 1887 to manufacture high quality paper. As the company's first president, William Gilbert Sr. was assisted by his four sons, William M., Albert C., Theodore M., and George. William M., second president circa 1900-1920, was followed by Albert, who served as the company's president circa 1920-1940. Theodore served as treasurer during the early twentieth century. In 1960 the Gilbert Paper Company became a Division of the Mead Corporation, in 2011 Fox River Paper Company bought Gilbert Paper, and in 2012 Gilbert Paper Company ceased production.
