Mazzella opens in Virginia

USA-based lifting and rigging gear manufacturer Mazzella Lifting Technologies has opened a branch in Virginia, Minnesota.

Centrally located to serve local industry, including the region’s taconite mines, Mazzella is offering lifting and rigging products and inspection services from its new depot.

“We see the Mazzella Companies’ expansion into the Mesabi Range of Minnesota as a natural progression of our long-term relationship with U.S. Steel. We value this relationship and the opportunity to supply the Minntac and Keetac taconite plants from our Virginia, MN location,” said Craig Hayward, president, Mazzella Companies.

The Virginia branch will maintain an inventory of wire rope, chain and synthetic slings, wire rope, rigging hardware, hoists and hoist parts, pullers and other related rigging products.
