Story

Antonio Amorello was just 17 in 1914, when he left his home in southern Italy and boarded a steamship for America. He had only $7 in his pocket and a profound belief in the American dream in his heart. That was all he needed.

The first thing he did in America was buy a shovel for $1. Soon thereafter, he started his own company specializing in cement work. As cars became more common, Antonio saw great opportunity, expanding first to garages, then to gas stations and sewer lines.

Eventually, Antonio’s four sons–William, John, Edward and Anthony–joined him in the business. With the postwar building boom and the brothers’ return from the service, A.F. Amorello expanded into water lines and road building.

Today, a third generation of Amorellos is involved in running the company: Anthony’s sons, James and Joseph. The company has grown beyond anything that Antonio could have ever imaged. The 100-year-old company is one of the oldest and most respected construction companies in Worcester County, recently expanding into Asphalt and Aggregate Manufacturing, Highway Construction and Site work.

Crushing / Screening / Processing

Over the years, A.F. Amorello has seen the need rise for a “one stop shopping” solution as the cost of construction materials increase. The need for alternative materials such as recycled products and the ability to better manage on-site materials through crushing and screening, helps to keep overall costs down.

Our complete line of mobile aggregate and construction materials processing equipment is capable of efficiently converting on-site materials into usable product, often eliminating the need to import or export various materials. It’s a win-win for everyone involved. Recycling materials on site saves time and costs associated with hauling material off-site and purchasing new materials. It also benefits the environment by reducing fuel costs and impact on our roadways and preserving our natural resources. Additionally, this not only contributes to LEED points for business and property owners, architects and developers, but also conserves energy and reduces our carbon footprint.

As a premier source of processed materials for central Massachusetts–whether it’s bank-run materials or a customized sand or stone product–chances are A.F. Amorello can make it, deliver it and install it, all on schedule, at a competitive price. We offer processing machinery such as:

Single-deck and multi-deck screening equipment: Screened loam, gravel and stone to a specific size or specification.

Track-mounted jaw crusher: Mobile primary rock crusher that creates usable products out of excess stone, rock, ledge and rubble.

Track-mounted cone crusher: Mobile secondary crusher that creates finished products such as dense-graded base as well as sized stone.

Mobile impactor: Recycles asphalt and concrete waste, producing usable processed-base materials, which keeps these discarded materials out of our landfills.

Hydraulic hammers: Reduces the mass of materials to be processed into a manageable size for proper handling while processing.
