Chesebrough

Chesebrough

Robert A. Chesebrough (* 1837; † 1933) war ein aus Großbritannien stammender Chemiker, der das Petroleum-Gelee, bekannt unter dem Markennamen Vaseline, erfand.

Er begann seine Karriere in Brooklyn, New York mit der Destillation von Kerosin aus dem Öl von Pottwalen. Die Entdeckung von Petroleum in Titusville (Pennsylvania) machte seine Arbeit obsolet. Er ging um 1859 nach Titusville um nach neuen Materialien aus dem Brennstoff zu forschen.

1870 eröffnete er seine erste Fabrik in Brooklyn.

1875 gründete er die Chesebrough Manufacturing Company, deren Präsident er bis 1909 war. Sie begannen mit der Produktion vom Kerosin. Ab 1881 konzentrierten sie die Produktion auf Vaseline.
