Mazzella Adds Branch in Minnesota

October 17, 2012—Mazzella Lifting Technologies has opened a new branch in Virginia, Minn. The facility is in a central location for serving the local Taconite Mines and other general industry in the region.

Branch Manager Todd Toman has more than eight years of experience working in the U.S. Steel taconite facilities. “His professionalism and relationships within the plants will offer us a unique perspective and opportunities with these businesses and others within the region,” Hayward added.

 

At this facility, Mazzella will maintain an inventory of wire rope, chain, and synthetic slings; wire rope; rigging hardware; hoists; hoist parts; pullers; and other related rigging products.
