Rengel Printing Company has a long history of exceeding expectations. Jack Rengel and Andy Goedert founded the company with just $500 work of used equipment, and 100 years later, their small business is flourishing.

A new chapter began in 1960 when Jack’s son, John joined the company. In 1975, John purchased the company from Jack. After five different locations, in 1979 we settled in at 1922 7th Street North, where we remain today.

In true family tradition, John’s son, Pete, grew up helping with chores in the shop. In 2004, Pete purchased the company from his parents. With a passion for print, 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 100 years, but we will never forget our founding values or where we came from. As a reminder we keep our first printing press on display outside our front door. It serves as a reminder of our heritage and a symbol of our commitment to progress.

As our year of celebrating comes to an end, we look forward to the future. Continuing our focus on providing the highest quality printing and distribution services. We are focused on remarkable customer care, with all the efficiencies from our ongoing investments in the newest technologies.

We are excited to see what the future holds for us and we can’t wait to celebrate our next milestone of 125 years in business with our loyal customers, family and friends.
