Robert H. Krieble (August 22, 1916 – May 8, 1997) was a chemist who co-founded the Loctite Corporation in 1953 along with his father, Vernon K. Krieble, and was a leading figure in the company in various capacities until 1986, having served as chief executive from 1964 to 1985.[1] In 1978, Krieble joined the board of The Heritage Foundation, where he became vice chairman in 1985. He also served on the board of the Free Congress Foundation.
After several years at the Socony Vacuum Oil Company, Krieble joined General Electric in 1943. "Mr. Krieble remained with General Electric, rising from research chemist to general manager of the chemical development department, until he left in 1956 to work full time at Loctite", according to profile in The New York Times[1]
In 1989, he formed the Krieble Institute "to promote democracy and economic freedom in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe".[1]
With the institute, "he made more than 80 trips over there, conducting seminars, meeting with leaders and training a full-time network of over 20,000 field experts to establish political economic reform."[2]
In 1990, President George H. W. Bush appointed him to the Executive Committee of Citizens Democracy Corps.[3]
The Heritage Foundation runs a "Robert H. Krieble Lecture" series in his honor,[5] and since 1998 provides a "Robert H. Krieble Fellow in Coalition Relations" based on an endowment by Krieble's family.[6] Krieble donated about $100,000 a year to Heritage for almost a decade.[7]
