Architectural Grille began as a Division of Giumenta Corporation. Its founder Federico Giumenta Sr., started this family owned and operated company in 1945 under the name Utility Brass & Bronze. At that time, the business focused on ornamental hand crafted metalwork that stressed the importance of quality. With the help of Federico's three sons-Michael, Federico Jr. and Anthony the business began to grow and prosper due to hard work, dedication and above all quality workmanship. In 1983, the company evolved into what it is called today - Architectural Grille, operating as a fully functional manufacturing plant that specializes in custom linear bar grilles and perforated grilles with a wide selection of materials and finishes. Using the latest state of the art technology such as the Laser cutting machine, the Waterjet cutting system and CNC Punching machines, the possibilities of what can be accomplished are endless.
