Beno J. Gundlach Company was founded in Belleville, IL in 1927. The company was named after its founder, Beno J. Gundlach. It was Beno's brother, Bill, who had asked Beno to invent and design a manually operated cutter for asbestos roofing shingles. At the time, Bill was the local sales representative for the Johns Manville Corporation, the company who had introduced these shingles to the U.S. market. The cutter Beno designed received a U.S. Patent and was produced in a small building located at 11 North 8th Street in Belleville until the early 1930's.
