More than 100 years of history…

The company’s roots go back to 1900, when Enrico Vecellio began a masonry contracting business in West Virginia. He built a reputation for excellence in workmanship and professional integrity. He soon entered the emerging road-building industry and became one of its earliest success stories.

Enrico’s son, Leo Vecellio, grew up around road construction, earned a civil engineering degree and in the 1930s joined his father’s business. Gene Grogan also joined the company and married Leo’s sister, Erma, who handled much of the company’s administrative work.

Vecellio & Grogan was formed in 1938 by Enrico, Leo and Gene, with Erma continuing her valuable administrative assistance. The company became well-known for its heavy/highway contracting expertise, especially under tough-job, high-production conditions.

Vecellio & Grogan grew throughout the years, expanding into the Mid-Atlantic states and other fields. During the 1960’s, V&G was involved as much in coal-mining as it was in earth-moving.

In the 1970’s, third-generation contractor Leo Vecellio, Jr., having earned a civil engineering degree and with international project management experience gained as an officer in the U.S Air Force, joined the family business. With his assistance shouldering a growing share of the executive workload, V&G began branching out into more diverse economic and geographic regions.  Opportunities arose in Florida, and a number of operations were established, continuing the group’s substantial growth over the next several decades.
