From a modest beginning of two employees, to a company that has grown to become one of the Midwest’s most respected lithographic printers, Reindl Printing of Merrill has been providing “Precision-Engineered Print Services” for 40 years.
Reindl Printing was started in Merrill in 1979 by Richard and Lynne Reindl, who had a vision of providing a new, higher level of service and quality. Reindl’s unprecedented growth in the 1980s led to the construction of its state-of-the-art facility in 1987, where they are still located today at 1300 Johnson St. Further growth of the company would require the construction of a 10,000 square foot distribution center in 1991, to house Reindl’s mailing, warehouse and specialized bindery operations. Reindl continued to expand in 1996 with a 38,000 square foot addition.
“In April 1996 ground was broken on a 38,000 square foot addition to the existing facility,” explained Richard Reindl, Owner of Reindl Printing. “This expansion led to our current facility and has brought all operations together under one roof. A 10,000 square foot addition to the distribution center was made in 2005 to accommodate our continued growth.”
After 2005 the building would remain the same, however Reindl would continue to modernize equipment to expand production. Prior to 2018 Reindl would add two six-color printers and an eight-color 40 inch perfector press. In 2018 Reindl added an Inkjet printing press, which at the time of purchase was one of only three in existence in the nation.
According to Richard Reindl, the company is still growing, continuously looking for more employees.
“We continue to search for quality staff,” added Reindl. “We currently employee 60 people with a one shift operation. As a company we have participated in the apprentice program through NTC and Merrill High School.”
Through all of the expansion and success Reindl’s mission remains the same, to provide maximum value to their clients while maintaining the highest ethical standards.
