Brighton Mills: An Epitome Of Tradition & Excellence In Ohio
In the mid-1800s, H. Nagel & Son Company, later known as Brighton Mills, began its journey as another business & an embodiment of a dream. Founded by the industrious Henry Nagel, a German immigrant with a vision, our roots were initially planted on the banks of the Ohio & Mississippi Rivers.
Henry’s drive & experience with steamboats led to the establishment of Cincinnati’s first steam-operated flour mill. While he dabbled in farming, milling ignited his passion, paving the way for Brighton Mills.
Today, we stand tall, bearing testament to the vision of a 19-year-old immigrant, reflecting Ohio’s culinary evolution & Brighton Mills’ commitment to maintaining traditional values while embracing innovation.
Leading With Expertise: The Nagel Legacy In Indiana & Ohio
The essence of Brighton Mills wasn’t limited to its founder. William Nagel, an MIT graduate, infused modern methodologies into traditional practices. His tenure saw an era where modern technology met time-tested methods, enhancing product output without compromising quality.
Fast forward to today, the helm of Brighton Mills is under Edward “Ted” Nagel. A Milling Science & Management graduate, Ted’s expertise bridges the Spring Grove facility in Cincinnati, Ohio, with West Harrison, Indiana. This dual presence, backed by Ted’s insights, ensures we adeptly cater to our diverse clientele.
