While President of Con-Strada, he was instrumental in establishing Strada Aggregates and Strada Crush, making these two companies the largest suppliers of recycled construction materials in southern Ontario. Before its amalgamation with Con-Drain in 2008, Con-Strada grew to become one of the largest Road Builders in Canada. Today, Con-Drain’s projects include earthworks, water and sewer infrastructure, road building, municipal capital works, and storm water management. As President & CEO of Condrain Group, he is confident that the integrated group can continue building economical, safe, and sound infrastructure in an environmentally responsible manner, responding to demands of a growing GTA in the 21st century. Currently, Mr. De Gasperis is a Board member of the public company Brampton Brick.
