Our History

RUDOLPH PHILLIP RAMELLI

Ramelli Coal Company was the business world’s first introduction to the Ramelli standard of excellence. Even during the Depression of the 1930s, Ramelli maintained good financial standings and was able to provide financial aid to loyal customers in the Greater New Orleans Area. As America began rebuilding, Ramelli expanded his company to include and the sale of High-Grade Coal, Coke and Anthracite. After years of business, Rudolph foresaw a change in the market because of advancements in technology so Ramelli shifted his focus and opened Rudolph Ramelli Incorporated which provided Laundry and Dry Cleaners’ Supplies to the South.
