Chief executive Tony Mazzella said: “John Sakach Company is recognised as a leader within the rigging industry because of their strong partnerships with their vendors, their dedication to educating the industry, and their commitment to the highest quality and safety standards. We are both committed to offering the highest quality and variety of products, excellent service, and leadership in education and training within the industry.”

Terry Driscoll, president of John Sakach added: “With decades of family tradition in the rigging and lifting industry, it is only fitting that we partner with Mazzella. We are excited to join a team dedicated to constant improvement within the industry and look forward to continuing the Mazzella family legacy in the Midwest.”
