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. 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.
