It’s a major development for two companies that have 86 years of construction experience between them.

Cianbro Inc., with expertise ranging from bridge building to steel fabrication to modular construction, and STARCON International, with a respected reputation across the country and Latin America in the oil refinery and chemical plant industries, are joining forces in a strategic alliance that promises to make each of them stronger.

“The strategic alliance is an agreement that both companies have entered into to work together, to pool our strengths.

Both companies have unique strengths and we complement one another, because their strengths are not necessarily the same as ours,” said Peter Vigue, president of Cianbro. “Their customer base is different than ours, and, by working together, we can provide more value to a broader base of customers.”

“I think it’s going to bring a great opportunity to both companies to expand our market share and also provide more diverse services to our clients,” said Michael Uremovich, CEO of STARCON. “Cianbro brings a unique set of skills and abilities to the table with their module shop, and their experience in the pulp and paper in the energy industry.

STARCON brings our diverse market share across the United States, working with the oil industry and our field experience providing maintenance and capital construction in the refineries. And having Cianbro’s shop to back us up, to provide more diverse services to our clients is going to be a really big help to STARCON.” Like the fleet of equipment housed at Cianbro’s Eastern Manufacturing Facility in Brewer, Maine, the deal, according to both sides, has many “moving parts,” but the agreement is expected to mean significantly improved job opportunities for team members and for the Brewer facility.

“We also have a scaffolding and insulation group. Cianbro has an I and E group. We have to go out and subcontract some of these services, because we don’t have those core crafts in our company,” said Dale Kuntz, STARCON’s see ALLIANCE page 4

With Cianbro’s impressive equipment inventory, top-notch facilities and expertise in a wide array of construction disciplines, the company now becomes an ally with the team at STARCON to bid jobs which were formerly out of reach. For their part, STARCON allows Cianbro to gain some of the respect in the oil and chemical industries which took the Houstonand Chicago-based company three decades to earn.

Both firms have significant experience mobilizing to perform large construction and maintenance projects throughout North America.

can just walk in and ask to bid work,” said Vigue. “Reputations mean a lot, past performance means a lot, the safety record is very important to them. So, it takes years to knock those barriers down and get opportunities to even bid work. The fact that STARCON is already established with these refineries, gives us a leg up. We can go right in and establish ourselves as a company that can deliver without having to take the years of marketing and building trust and confidence with people.”

“STARCON, at the same time, sees opportunities they can leverage. They just don’t have the resources to do so,” he added. “So, we’re joining. It’s huge.”

pieces of major industrial equipment.

Management from both companies recently completed strategic meetings to develop plans for aligning efforts in business development, project planning and manpower and equipment sharing.

“We know the collective resources are stronger than the individual companies are able to offer,” said Uremovich.

With STARCON’s well-earned reputation in the petrochemical industry, Cianbro is making plans to expand into refinery and chemical plant work. The alliance brings the promise of new job opportunities for team members from both firms.

“Our teams are extremely excited about the opportunities this alliance will create for them and for and our clients,” said Vigue.

“Joined together, our ability to broaden our geographic reach and smooth out our seasonal business

demand is very powerful.”

Both company leaders noted that clients should experience no changes in the next few months, but will notice the benefits and opportunities created by the alliance as those attributes develop during the coming year.

“I think there's going to be a lot of people that are really surprised when they see that Cianbro and STARCON have come together,” adds Uremovich.

“I think it’s going to shock the industry, in a good way. I think it’s going to make some of our competitors afraid of what we’ve created here. But long term, with the cultures lining up so well, and the opportunities lining up so well, we’re going to end up with one really great organization.”

With an uncompromising commitment to safety, quality, training and innovation, STARCON serves clients in the refining, chemical, food processing, metals, paper and power industries. The company is headquartered in Manhattan, Ill., and has offices in La

Porte, Tex., Fairfield, Calif., Gonzales, La., and San Nicolas, Aruba. Visit www.starcom.org for more information.

John’s Gradall Service Flourishes With Collective Effort In Just Five Years, Small Family Company Has Grown Well Beyond Founders’Expectations

By Jay Adams CEG CORRESPONDENT

Just five short years ago, a secretary for a construction company decided to leave her office to join forces with her husband’s son to form a new company.

It was 2004 when Laura Scott and John Smith founded John’s Gradall Service in Mansfield, Mass. They started as simply as possible, with just the two of them as employees and one machine.

Fast forward only a brief five years, and the company has quickly grown to a dozen workers and two-dozen machines.

The family brought a lot of experience to the operation. John’s Gradall Service represents years of collective teamwork, from the smallest projects to the most complicated.

Laura’s husband, Jack Smith, brought more than 45 years of construction work to the fold, while his son, John, had been in heavy construction for all of his adult life.

What began with one Gradall has grown to more than a dozen, all on active rental.

Additionally, the company offers a large assortment of other equipment, such as trucks, Bobcats, dozers, excavators, loaders and various pieces of specialty equipment to meet a variety of construction needs.

Beyond equipment rental, John’s Gradall Service performs vast assortments of other heavy iron work, including road construction, sidewalk reconstruction, septic systems, and sewer collection systems, building construction, site work, hydro-seeding, grading and all manner of excavation work.

A union company, John’s Gradall employs union operators and all of its employees are 40-hour Hazmat and OSHA trained. Its fleet of later model equipment is completely maintained by in-house staff, bolstered by the recent addition of noted regional technician George Ford, who is a certified Gradall mechanic.

“Everybody knows him,” said General

(L-R): John Smith, Jack Smith, Laura Scott and technician George Ford all keep John’s Gradall Service running smoothly out of Mansfield, Mass.

Manager Jack Smith.

“He’s a top man. And we are already selling parts. We are a Gradall dealer, selling used Gradall parts, repairing and replacing them.”

The dream of John’s Gradall started simply enough.

“I was a secretary at a construction company. I wanted to start my own company,” said Laura Scott. “I financed this business with the sale of my house. I was trying to be a woman-owned company.”

Laura has been studying hard to satisfy a state and federal rule that requires that 10 percent of people on job sites be a minority.

“I am on the way of becoming W.B.E. [Woman Business Enterprise].

Gradall’s XL Series excavators are designed to meet contractors’ needs for compact, cost-efficient machines that can perform high productivity digging and demolition, as well as fine grading, according to

Scott, adding that “[these] low-profile, telescoping boom machines can work under bridges and tree limbs where conventional, knuckle boom excavators cannot, and are easy to operate and maintain.”

Father and son, Jack and John Smith, have a lot of experience with Gradall. John had run them for several years before starting the new family business.

“They are a unique unit, a special piece of equipment,” he said. “They don’t knuckle under. They are totally different from excavators. They can work in low clearance areas, well under power lines. They don’t need high clearance. They do the same work, with a lower profile. They can work horizontally. That’s why they are unique.

“The rubber-tire machines will do 6 miles per hour down the highway,” he added.

“You don’t need a lowbed [trailer] to move them. They move well down the highway and we use them a lot on the highways for

Beyond equipment rental, John’s Gradall Service performs vast assortments of other heavy iron work, including road construction, sidewalk reconstruction, septic systems, and sewer collection systems, building construction, site work, hydro-seeding, grading and all manner of excavation work.

road work. They help get into really tight areas.”

John’s Gradall can cast materials from one Gradall to another.

“Every size and model that Gradall makes, we own it,” said Jack Smith. “We own every model for every situation.”

These include the XL2300, XL2200, XL3100, XL4200, XL5100 Gradall with hammer, the XL5200 with hammer, and the XL2200 Gradall, which has a 360-degree boom rotation. The milling head for the XL5100 and XL5200 also are available.

“We bought our first machine in Florida and, in five short years, went from one machine to 20 to 25. And some 90 percent go out with our operators,” added Jack Smith.

Since its 2004 founding, the small firm has been gaining in reputation.

“We had a big job in the town of Walpole,” said John Smith. “We built sidewalks from absolutely nothing to the finish.

City officials rented machines from me and they did all the work in house, so they could understand the process and [how] it would save them money.”

Jack said word has spread quickly about the new, small company located amid the dirt piles just after the concrete bridge south of the new mall at Mansfield Crossing.

“We have grown out of word of mouth.

We’d like to keep getting out name out there,” said Jack Smith. “We provide good service and we have good operators, good drivers and great mechanics.”

“Very few people have Gradall equipment,” added John. “And that’s how we grew.”
