ABOUT US

         OUR STORY    

The American dream is embodied in the history of A.M. Rizzo Electrical Contractors Inc. Anthony Rizzo Sr. was born in Italy just a month after his father’s death. Unable to speak a word of English, Anthony Sr. was sent to the United States at the age of twelve to live with his relatives. Hard work and intense determination brought significant rewards. Four years after he graduated from Henry Abbott Tech, Anthony Sr. and his wife Joan founded A.M. Rizzo Electrical Contractors Inc., providing electrical construction services to business and government entities in Connecticut.

Over 50 years later, Rizzo Electric handles industrial, commercial and municipal electrical contracts throughout Connecticut and New York. All of this is managed and developed now by the second generation of Rizzo’s, making Rizzo Electric one of the few area businesses truly family owned and operated. Today, Anthony Jr. is CEO of Rizzo Electrical Contractors, Inc., where he is joined by his brother-in-law, and President of the company, Tony Rebeiro.

Their involvement in Rizzo Electric has helped the business continue to grow with projects such as the Danbury Wastewater Treatment Plant, highway advisory systems, and many major corporate and community projects, all indicative of the family qualities that make Rizzo Electric such a valuable choice in electrical contracting. Respect and integrity, qualities often missing in business, are essential in maintaining not only family structure, but also a business the Rizzo family can be proud of.

Few people have truly discovered the secret to “La Dolce Vita” (the sweet life) like Anthony Sr., who truly lives the sweet life. His secret? He lives by three simple rules which are at the core of the Rizzo Corporation Philosophy:

  1. Provide the client with honest service, quality production, and reasonable prices;

  2. Run a family business by the values of respect, honor, and integrity;

  3. Value the client and show appreciation by giving back to the community that supports our business and our customers’ businesses.

These rules are indicative of the family qualities that make the Rizzo Corporation such a valuable choice in contracting. Respect, integrity, and personal service, qualities often missing in business, are essential in maintaining not only family structure but also a business of which the Rizzo family can be proud. Whether the account is for $250 or $25,000,000, each customer can feel like part of the family, because each time Rizzo accepts a contract, that customer is treated with honor, respect, and integrity.

By maintaining these values, the Rizzo Family has built a business that truly delivers “Service with Peace of Mind”.
