Driven By a Spirit for Innovation and Engineering
Founded in 1910, Urschel Laboratories, Inc. has a rich engineering history and a passion for innovation. William E. Urschel founded the company focusing on manufacturing excellence, and his vision still guides us today. Increases in productivity, energy-saving machinery, cleaner, more precise cuts, and the development of new cut shapes, are just a few ways Urschel continues to rise to the demands of this dynamic industry. Throughout its 100-plus-year history, Urschel has built on continuous research and development in determining the most innovative cutting methods combined with leading-edge manufacturing practices, and that is why we have retained ‘Laboratories’ as part of our company name.

As company owners dedicated to carrying on William’s innovative spirit, employees have a vested interest in the success of the company.
