Company History and Profile
COMPANY HISTORY
Sticker Corporation was founded in 1948 by Jessie Sticker and J.H. Reighart. Within the first year of operation, Mr. Reighart bought out Mr. Sticker and was the sole owner of the corporation.
Originally, Sticker Corporation was in the business of selling, engineering, and designing water-cooled elements used on metal producing furnaces. The company's customer base consisted of steel, aluminum, and copper producers, both domestic and abroad. Mr. Reighart developed many patents, which were the basis for products sold.
In the late 1950s, James H. Reighart, the founder's son, joined the business. It was also at that point in time that the decision was made to begin manufacturing products in-house rather than contracting out the work as had been done to this point. Subsequently, Reighart Steel Products Corporation was founded. Reighart Steel Products Corporation was captive to Sticker Corporation and produced 100% of the products that Sticker Corporation sold.
In 1992, Douglas S. Reighart, the third generation of family ownership, joined the business. It was at this point that the company began to reinvent itself to become the company that it is today. In 1993 the two companies were merged together. The Sticker Corporation name was carried on, as it had an excellent reputation for its quality products throughout the country. While maintaining its roots in the water-cooled business, the company began to diversify its capabilities and market focus to include metal fabrication and machining to the design of others.
Today, the corporation is separated into two segments. The "Sticker" side of the business continues to grow, primarily with water-cooled products and primary metal producers. The corporation also does business under the "Reighart Steel" name. The emphasis on this side of the business is on metal fabrication and CNC machining into a wide array of markets including, but not limited to: off-road equipment manufacturers, heavy machine builders, and the trucking industry.
In 1999, the corporation completed its second addition and now occupies a 40,000 square foot facility.
