According to Civitella, “2013 marks another exciting year for the company, as we celebrate our 25th year in business and have relocated to a state of the art corporate headquarters in the heart of downtown Schenectady. We have experienced tremendous growth in recent years, expanding our organization to over 70 professional employees and have received recognition as one of Inc. 5000’s fastest growing private companies each year for the past seven years. My hope is that our new headquarters, which will accommodate 125 employees, contributes to the expanding vitality of SchenectadyCounty and the region’s TechValley community.”
