OUR STORY

Founder, President and Sole Owner/Operator, Carmine Marcelli is an AWS Certified Welder (American Welding Society) with over 34 years of experience in the industry. He ​began his career at just ​sixteen years old as an apprentice​ in his hometown in Abruzzo, Italy​​.​  After shadowing his foremen and senior coworkers, he gained many valuable skills, processes, and methods to ​fabricate and weld both structural ​and​ misc. steel​ and oversaw many successful projects during that time.

Several years later, he moved to the United States to assist his parents with their new business ventures​. However, his passion for working with steel never diminished, and he continued to carry out smaller ​steel and iron​ works jobs in his free time.​ ​In 2010, three years after the sale of his family business,​ Carmine ​found himself in a position to challenge the structural steel industry and take a more efficient​ and intuitive approach to steel ​work than the competition.​ ​Marcelli Steel was established that year in a small shop in Newtown, CT. 

With no external support or funding, ​Carmine ​took whatever jobs he could get​ and ​executed​ them with full attention and effort, no matter the size​. His glowing reputation eventually landed him a project at Southern Connecticut State University and put the company on the map! Since then, with the help of his partner, Corey McChesney, Marcelli Steel has grown substantially and services a wide variety of industries with an ever-growing customer base, such as Amazon, Target, CVS, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and a variety of restaurants, strip malls, parking garages, corporate parks, and others.
