In 1902, machinist Fred Drews and inventor Hugo Reichel combined their talents into a Chicago company to be called Reichel & Drews. The company was founded on the principle that quality industrial products, which fulfill customer needs, would make it an industry leader. Today, we still believe in this guiding principle.
His shingle cutter enhanced the cutting, stacking, and bundling of asphalt shingles. This landmark invention helped change the company and the industry. This machine would take long rolls of asphalt composition roofing and cut individual shingles from the material. In the 1930's Reichel & Drews introduced to the industry the first automated roll winder.
