“My grandfather, Antonio Mazzella, started our parent company in 1954,” says Adam Mazzella, Sheffield Metal’s Vice President for Sales, Marketing & New Business. “It was a lifting and rigging company that manufactured wire rope slings for industrial applications. My father, Tony, came into the business in 1977, and steadily grew it over time.” According to Adam, Tony bought Sheffield Metals from its former owner in 2004, and hired Mike Blake, the company’s current President, to run it for him. At that time, the company had two locations – Atlanta, Georgia and Sheffield Village, Ohio, a suburb west of Cleveland.
