Forest City Erectors Honored (The Ironworker)
Forest City Erectors, Inc. is one of Northern Ohio’s most prominent steel erection contractors headquartered in Twinsburg, Ohio, located near Cleveland. Jim Mirgliotta’s journey as a young ironworker to a successful steel erection contractor was not an easy path. The foundation for Jim’s success began in 1907 before he was born. His grandparents, Phillip and Rosemary Mirgliotta, invested in the American Dream by buying ocean liner tickets bound for the United States for their five young children with the knowledge they would probably never see them again. They prayed their children would have a better life than the one they could provide in the village of Nasso on the island of Sicily and hoped they were making the right decision.
Past CEA Chairman and current Board Member, Jim Mirgliotta, and Forest City Erectors is featured in the August issue of The Ironworker.
