You could say Rengel Printing Company's roots are honorably humble. In 1921, our namesake, Jack Rengel, and his partner, Andy Goedert, founded their small company with $500 worth of used equipment purchased from the struggling Pan Motor Company.

When Rengel Printing first hung its sign, St. Cloud's population was less than 20,000, the newspaper was written entirely in German and streetcars were still moving up and down the center of St. Germain Street. Ink was printed one color at a time and a hand-operated press was about as advanced as the printing industry got.

Despite the struggles of the Great Depression, our company emerged stronger than ever. With business growing rapidly, our accommodations were forced to grow as well. After five locations, in 1983 we settled in at 1922 Seventh Street North, where we have been ever since.

Jack Rengel became sole owner of the company in 1951 and stayed involved in the business until his death in 1982. John and Dee Rengel embraced the traditions on which we were founded and continued to run the company until 2004, when their son, Pete Rengel, took over.

Things at Rengel Printing have evolved a lot in 89 years. We keep our first printing press on display outside our front door, not only as a reminder of our heritage but also as a symbol of our commitment to progress. Today, we provide a full spectrum of print services using some of the industry’s best equipment.

We continue to advance and expand as new technology allows us to offer better quality, competitive prices, and more options for our clients. Our goal is to always provide a big printer's capabilities with a small printer's touch. We still hold tight to our past, but keep looking ahead to our future.
