Biographer Dick Hirsch sat down with Mr. C. in 2006 to chronicle his career. The inspiring tale of John Cannistraro, Sr. and his firm can be found in a bookshelf in every office in the company's headquarters.

Day 1: Forward Progress

Our story begins in 1963 when John Cannistraro, Sr. (aka "Mr. C") founded J.C. Cannistraro, Inc. with only $1,500 in his pocket. Nearly 50 years later, the second generation has moved from the back of the truck to the front office.

Countdown to 50!

The year 2012 marks Cannistraro's 49th year in mechanical construction.  There is no question that the company has grown by leaps and bounds from Mr. C's one-man plumbing shop in Waltham, MA, and there are many who share in the responsibility for the company's success!

As we begin the countdown to our year-long Gold Anniversary, please join us each day as we highlight the people, processes and projects that help make our company a nationally-recognized industry leader.
