History

[edit]

In 1963, John Cannistraro, Sr., with the help of his wife Rita, invested $1500 and founded a small plumbing shop named J.C. Cannistraro, Inc. in Watertown, Massachusetts.[2] Soon after, the company began installing plumbing systems for MassPort at Boston's Logan International Airport.[3]

In 1984, John Cannistraro, Sr., purchased the ice house from the Jac-Pac Company, a frozen meat distributor, and moved the company from a garage on Pleasant Street in Watertown. Over the next two decades, the site became a large complex which houses the prefabrication facilities and corporate offices. The company is in its second generation with the current President, John Cannistraro, Jr., and he is being assisted in running the company by three other siblings,[4] and a team of non-family management specialists.

Today, Cannistraro designs and builds mechanical systems for public and private construction projects. The company employs more than 500 people with annual revenues of more than $250,000,000.
