Cleveland, Ohio – January 19, 2016 – Industrial Training International and the Mazzella Companies have agreed to partner on a permanent training center location at Mazzella’s Cleveland, Ohio Headquarters at 21000 Aerospace Parkway. The Cleveland Training Center will be the fifth North American training center for ITI, along with locations in Woodland, Washington, Memphis, Tennessee, Anchorage, Alaska and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The newest facility is strategically located adjacent to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and will no doubt be a benefit to the heavy industries in the north eastern part of the United States.
