history
Since 1954, Riegler Blacktop has been serving the paving needs of the Tri-State Area. Len Riegler started the company with only a few resources. What began with two trucks and a farm tractor has now expanded to 15-17 crews per day, 460 pieces of equipment and over 160 employees. Len and his family have grown the business into what is currently one of the largest paving companies in greater Cincinnati.
Riegler Blacktop is 3rd generation family owned and operated. We take great pride in the Riegler name. In the early years Len’s wife, Mary, ran the office out of the basement of their home in Erlanger, KY. Len’s focus was in the field teaching his sons the value of hard work, the importance of a quality end product and great customer service. Unfortunately, Len passed away in 1988 leaving his sons Boone and Ron to carry on the business alongside their mother Mary. By 1989 the family developed Lendale Drive in Florence, KY where the company would call home base for the next 29 years.
In 2006 Boone and Ron took a huge leap of faith by opening our very own asphalt production plant on Weaver Road in Florence, KY. This decision was a game changer. It allowed us to competitively bid much larger projects and paved the way for substantial growth. The following year in 2007 we lost the matriarch of the family, but we feel beyond blessed to have been able to work with Mary hand in hand right up until her passing.
By 2018 the company had significantly outgrown the Lendale Drive office so it was time to make a move. In order to accommodate our team, we acquired and developed land on Weaver Road adjacent to the plant where we built our dream office and maintenance garage. This is where we operate out of today.
The company continues to grow on the solid foundation provided by Len, Mary, Boone and Ron. Ownership is now shared between the second and third generations. This mix creates a great combination of experience and guidance, as well as, fresh ideas and new technology. Another huge factor in our success is having such a great team. Some of our crews have been with us since the 70s. We are extremely thankful for every person with us on this journey as we continue to grow. We look forward to the opportunity for our family and exceptional team to provide the same high-quality services that have made Riegler Blacktop what it is today.
