Joseph Kruger

Joseph A. Kruger (c.1869–December 21, 1927[1]) was an American–Canadian businessman. He founded Kruger Inc. in 1904, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The privately-owned pulp and paper industry company continues today, and employs 10,500 people internationally.

Kruger was a paper merchant in New York City around 1900. He moved his family to Montreal, where he founded the family business of producing fine papers.[2] The business grew and was incorporated in 1921. The company was passed on to his sons Gene and Bernard when Kruger died in 1927.[2] Kruger was survived by his wife Nettie, his sons Gene and Bernard, and daughter Ruth.[1] The family lived at 12 Lorraine Avenue in Westmount.[1]
