ABOUT CARRIS REELS Longevity · Dependability · Accomplishment · Teamwork Carris Reels was founded in Rutland, Vermont in 1951 by Henry Carris. This business was Henry’s life’s work which he built from the ground up during the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s on a foundation of operational excellence. The saying “get the wood out” became and remains part of the corporate culture. By the time Henry retired in 1980 he had built a multimillion-dollar business capable of withstanding the tests of time. Henry’s son, Bill Carris, stepped in to further develop Carris Reels into a thriving manufacturing company in the 1980’s by implementing start-ups and acquisitions, in addition to extending the company’s geographic outreach. In early 2014, Dave Ferraro succeeded Mike Curran as President, and his promotion to President followed more than three decades of leading the Carris brand to its current leadership position in the marketplace. Dave focused much of his efforts on growing the company, and expanding its geographical reach, first by completing the acquisition of J. Hamelin Industries in Canada in 2015, and then by the acquisition of Lone Star Reel in Texas in 2016. As Dave retired at the end of 2020, Alberto Aguilar was named as Carris Reels new President & CEO for 2021. Alberto first started with Carris in 2000 when he spearheaded a project to open our first plastics dedicated manufacturing facility. Operating as Vice President since 2012, Alberto worked alongside Dave Ferraro to keep the efficiency, productivity and reliability of all our manufacturing operations up to the Carris standard. Now, as Alberto’s tenure as President & CEO begins, he is looking to the future with a vision plan of continued improvement and a focus on operational excellence.
