Inventor of Aluminum Foil
A study of the history of aluminum foil indicates that on April 2, 1889, Charles Martin Hall got a patent for producing the metal. The first rolling plant came out in 1910, called Dr. Lauber, Neher, Cie and Emmishofen.

Before aluminum foil came out, tin foil was used for packing foods and other products. The first mass-produced and widely-used foil was made from tin. Tin was later replaced by aluminum in 1910, when the first aluminum foil rolling plant Dr. Lauber, Neher & Cie., Emmishofen. was opened in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland. By 1910, the first manufacturing plant for the production of aluminum foil opened in Emmishofen, Switzerland by Dr. Lauber, Neher & Cie. Tin  was first replaced by aluminum starting in 1910, when the first  aluminum foil rolling plant, Dr. Lauber, Neher & Cie.,  Emmishofen was opened in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland. The first  use of foil in the United States was in 1913 for wrapping Life  Savers, candy bars, and gum. The first plant designed for rolling aluminum foil was opened in 1910. Aluminum foil replaced tin foil, when the Dr. Lauber, Neher & Cie., Emmishofen aluminum foil rolling plant in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, was opened by J.G. Neher & Sons. The first plant designed for rolling aluminum foil was opened in 1910. Aluminum foil replaced tin foil, when the Dr. Lauber, Neher & Cie., Emmishofen aluminum foil rolling plant in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, was opened by J.G. Neher & Sons. They discovered the endless rolling process together with Dr. Lauber. The plant, owned by J.G. Neher & Sons (aluminum manufacturers) started in 1886 in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, at the foot of the Rhine Falls – capturing the falls’ energy to produce aluminum. Neher’s sons together with Dr. Lauber discovered the endless rolling process and the use of aluminum foil as a protective barrier. Production methods continued to improve and by 1909, the Pittsburgh company’s output was at 41,000 kg per day. By 1910, the first manufacturing plant for the production of aluminum foil opened in Emmishofen, Switzerland by Dr. Lauber, Neher & Cie.
