Menomonee Falls, Wis. - (Jan. 8, 2004) - F.E. Treis, Arandell Corporation chairman, was recently honored for 60 years of leadership at the producer and distributor of high-quality direct-mail catalogs. Treis joined the former R & L Printing Co., a sheet-fed commercial printer, on Jan. 1, 1944, as a sales representative. He acquired the business in 1949, changed its name to the phonetically spelled Arandell and became its chairman. Under Treis' leadership, Arandell grew from a Milwaukee-Chicago area printer to a national firm and acquired E.F. Schmidt, a web offset printer, in 1981.

Today, Arandell has grown into an internationally known printer with 660 employees and sales of more than $250 million. The family tradition continues under Treis' sons, Donald, Arandell CEO; James, executive vice president sales/marketing; and David, vice president/general manager.
