Marino\WARE’s history goes back many decades, starting when its owner and chairman, LeRoy Schecter, returned from serving in the US Navy during World War II. Back in civilian life, Mr. Schecter began working in the steel business in Newark, NJ. Originally operating American Strip Steel as a steel service center, Mr. Schecter eventually expanded into steel stud manufacturing in 1989 under Ware Industries, Inc. In 1993, Ware Industries, Inc. purchased Marino Industries, and thus Mr. Schecter formed Marino\WARE from the acquisition and expanded from one location to four. To this day, four of Marino\WARE’s locations (South Plainfield, NJ; Griffin, GA; East Chicago, IN, and Delanco, NJ) are mega-plants — large, self-sufficient facilities providing hundreds of jobs to American workers.

Todd Muirhead is Vice President of the Northeast for Marino\WARE and John Mote covers the Philadelphia Market.
