three to four men, to satisfy demands. The Stamford-based Cavaliere Industries carries many special permits, including city and/or state road encroachment permits. Safety is critically handled and maintained. The company even exceeds federal standards in some cases. “We ensure that our employees have an OSHA 10 card. We also have some personnel who have taken the Hazwoper24. We need to follow the standard regulations that are required by law, but we strive to have higher in-house standards,” added D.J. Cavaliere. Six Decades, Three Generations Cavaliere Industries has been a family invention for more than 57 years. Started in 1955 by Dominic Cavaliere Sr. and his brother and brother-in-law, the company just saw its third generation come on board to continue the tradition. “The third [generation], Joseph, just finished at the University of Massachusetts and began employment full time in December 2012,” said Lou Cavaliere.

contracting, milling, paving road and site services too numerous to name, Cavaliere maintains a fleet of equipment to get to and master any highway challenge. “Our three bay repair garage is run by Bill
Ackerson and Anthony Rende. Bill has been with the company for 20-plus years and Anthony has been with us for more than five years,” said Lou Cavaliere. “They keep the fleet maintained and work-ready. They also fabricate our custom truck bodies for our specialty work.” Part of that “specialty” work is to improve the neighborhood. Cavaliere Industries gives back very locally to support surrounding enterprises. “We are involved with the Waterside Coalition, which is the neighborhood community group. Our office and yard is in a mixed-use zone of heavy industrial to single-family homes,” added Lou Cavaliere. “We attend meetings to try to improve the community and supply support for specialty-themed meetings, like small business loans or grants, real estate meetings, etc., to see what future projects might look into developing in the Waterside Area or what is available for sale or rent.” For more information, visit www.cavaliereindustries.com.
