Building Businesses & Creating Jobs

It’s really that simple. Building businesses and creating jobs is what every town in America needs more of these days. Thankfully, we are beginning to see glimpses of life coming back into the markets and real estate slowly starting to heat up. The successful small business owners have acted as a catalyst in keeping the economy afloat and forging the way for years to come. Giving recognition to these business owners for their accomplishments through hard times and continued success is the least that we can do.

Seconn Fabrication’s President and Owner Rob Marelli Jr. has shown continued willingness and a strong desire to re-invest in his business. Rob is making an even bigger investment in his employees which has had a positive effect on the local community. Since they opened their doors in Waterford CT, Seconn has continued to hire new employees almost every year. Whether it is a new sales team or an automation unit from scratch, Seconn has hired new employees whenever possible. It took the company less than 5 years to grow from 5 employees to over 85 in a town that has experienced unemployment rates over 8%.

Industry changing technology, commitment to excellence, and cutting edge facilities is what separates this manufacturing company from others. Many companies across the globe utilize Seconn to help build their businesses. They have certainly found their niche in the precision sheet metal industry and continue to be leaders in innovation. In 2008, Seconn was recognized as a US Chamber of Commerce finalist for the Small Business Award.

Whether you live in Waterford, a surrounding town, or abroad, you have to admit more dynamic small businesses like Seconn are better for everyone. As a Realtor who is very cognizant of the local area and CT shoreline, I have to tip my hat to Marelli and his team at Seconn and thank them for helping keep our community afloat!
