Jacob Johann Vollrath (September 19, 1824 – May 15, 1898) was an industrialist in the city of Sheboygan, Wisconsin in the United States. He founded The Vollrath Company. Vollrath was born on September 19, 1824 in Dörrebach in the Prussian Rhineland, where he learned the trade of molding (casting of wrought iron). Vollrath invented "gray enameling" (which describes a particular method of manufacture, not a color). Two other sons, Jacob Vollrath Jr. (1894–1964) and Walter J. Vollrath Sr, (1897–1964) had served as officers of the Polar Ware Co., of Kiel, WI.
