Colossale Concrete Inc. is now Colossale Siteworks.

Dominic Colossale Sr. founded Colossale Concrete in 1954, two years after emigrating from Naples, Italy to New Britain. He started his business with a wheelbarrow and sledgehammer and built it to become one of the state’s major site construction firms with the capacity to service large-scale, fast-track projects, schools, municipalities, and commercial developments.

The company feels this is an appropriate time to re-examine the brand to better reflect and convey Colossale’s full range of capabilities. Now in the hands of Dom Sr.’s sons Michael, Dominic Jr., Carmine, and Bob, the brothers want to position themselves to become better known for their expertise in site/civil construction, hence the new name.

Principal Michael Colossale says: “We are continually inspired by our dad who got our business off the ground. We have stayed true to his spirit of courage, generosity and hard work. The new name says it all. The next generation is on board to continue our dad’s legacy. We are excited to bring a new look forward and know Dom Sr. would be proud.

“My brothers and I like to say we’ve smoothed out some of his rough edges – we still bring the grit, but we also bring the polish.”
