Industrial Training International and the Mazzella Companies have agreed to partner on a permanent training center location at Mazzella’s Cleveland, Ohio Headquarters at 21000 Aerospace Parkway. The Cleveland Training Center will be the fifth North American training center for ITI, along with locations in Woodland, Washington, Memphis, Tennessee, Anchorage, Alaska and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The newest facility is strategically located adjacent to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and will no doubt be a benefit to the heavy industries in the north eastern part of the United States. 

The Mazzella Companies are well known in the crane, rigging, and load-handling industries for providing ideal lifting solutions, both products and services, including all styles of slings, overhead cranes, hoists, and engineered lifting devices. “We are very excited to work with Mazzella,” said Zack Parnell, President, ITI. “Our family-operated companies have worked together for over 20 years, and we are proud to place our brand next to theirs as we grow in the region.”

As is the case with existing ITI Training Centers, the Cleveland facility will include:

• Indoor, practical training space and equipment
• Outdoor, practical training space and equipment
• ITI Rigging Conex
• Interactive classroom

“ITI is a great partner and this agreement reflects our desire to collaborate with companies that believe in, and practice The Mazzella Way: To Instill Confidence & Comfort in Every Interaction,” said Bill Franz, VP of Marketing, Mazzella Companies. “We feel ITI’s presence with this new training center will allow us to be identified as a company of experts in our field. This offering will solidify our training with existing as well as new clients that they cannot get anywhere else.”

Initially, ITI will host select courses at the Cleveland Training Center starting in April of 2016. Courses scheduled include:
