Since its founding in 1948, lots of things have changed for
Allied Eagle Supply Co.: its location, its scope and its size. But its core business, janitorial supplies, remains key to its continued growth.
Antonino
Scappaticci, Jr.'s father bought the business in the 1970's and, slowly
but surely, branched it out from only distributing cleaning supplies.
It now offers janitorial services, heating and cooling services,
construction and building maintenance. "Incrementally over time, we've
grown all the divisions," says Scappaticci.
In 2004, the
company moved from its Midtown location to a 42,000 square-foot
facility in Corktown, on Rosa Parks at Howard. From a half-dozen
employees, Allied has grown to employ 150.
Some notable local
companies that Allied works with include MGM Grand (window cleaning),
Stroh River Place (mechanical systems), Greater Corktown Development
Corp. (North Corktown infill housing phase one), Channel 4 (janitorial
services) and Motor City Casino (janitorial supplies).
The
public is invited to shop at their showroom, which is open Monday
through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and stocks a full-line of cleaning
and maintenance supplies.
