1946—Forty years after eleven-year-old Raphael Cianchette boarded a passenger ship alone in Naples, Italy, bound for America, four of his sons—Carl, Ken, Bud, and Chuck—locked arms to build a construction company.
With Ken and Bud’s army savings for seed money and Chuck’s 1934 pickup truck as the company vehicle, Carl launched the family business. Incorporated in 1949, Cianbro is one of the most diversified construction companies in the nation with gross annual sales in excess of $450 million and over 2,500 team members throughout the eastern United States.
Can-do Attitude and Teamwork
Carl, Ken, Bud, and Chuck Cianchette were raised to be hardworking, self-reliant entrepreneurs. Instilled with their parents’ philosophy—treat people with dignity and respect, your word is your bond, and give back from which you take—the boys delivered newspapers, worked odd jobs, and learned early the value of a positive, can-do attitude and the rewards of an honest day’s work.
They believed in themselves and they believed they could succeed by working together. They also believed they could achieve the impossible regardless of what the obstacles were. This same confidence and can-do spirit lives on in our people today. It is what allows Cianbro to complete some of the most complex projects in the construction industry.
The Cianchette brothers—each unique and different individuals—provided our company with tremendous depth in its early years. Their mutual respect and trust in one another allowed them to focus on growing the company. They initiated the teamwork that Cianbro thrives on today. And, they believed that the people who worked beside them should be the future owners of the company. Their legacy lives on.
