Rengel Printing Company
A History of Excellence Rengel Printing Company is proud to celebrate 103 years in business in the St. Cloud community. Our goal is to exceed expectations by providing the highest quality printing, mail distribution, and marketing services. The dedication of the Rengel team, many of which are long-time employees, plays a critical role in the growth and success of the company. We are honored to continue building long-lasting relationships with our clients. These relationships continue to stand the test of time because of our “Rengel Values” that we hold true: honesty, integrity, dependability, creativity, and stewardship. The Beginning Rengel Printing Company was established in 1921 by Jack Rengel and Andrew Goedert with just $500 worth of used equipment – two Tanner Price presses that had to be set by hand. Ink was printed one color at a time and a hand-operated press was about the most advanced piece of technology in the printing industry. Printing services continued to expand, and as printing technology changed, so did Rengel. A Second Generation A new chapter began in 1960 when Jack’s son, John, joined the company. After years of helping in with chores in the shop after school, John made deliveries, cut paper, and ran the press. In 1975, John and his wife Dee purchased the company from Jack. After five different locations, in 1979 we settled in at 1922 7th Street North, where we remain today. Dee became a member of staff helping the office and doing book work – what was only supposed to be for a year. When John decided to retire in 1994, Dee stayed on to run the business. 100 Years Later John and Dee’s son, Pete, grew up helping with chores in the shop. In true family tradition, Pete purchased the company from his mother in 2004. Today, Pete and his wife LeRae continue to grow their business with upgraded equipment and advanced technology. We have come a long way in the past 103 years, but we will never forget our founding values or where we came from.
