The Females Behind the Fireworks!
The Zambelli Women are keeping the First Family of Fireworks Sizzling!

BOCA RATON, FL (July 4, 2006) Who would have thunk it? One of the nation’s premiere fireworks companies is being successfully and gainfully lead by a team of determined, experienced and capable—females!

Pyrotechnics is not the first line of work one might associate with working Moms and schedule-juggling wives. But when it comes to taking family history, and building it to even greater accomplishment, Marcy and Danabeth Zambelli haven’t just taken the reins at Zambelli Fireworks--they are truly breaking new ground.

With ties that go back to Italy and to their great, great Grandfather, the Zambelli women have had an education and experiences known only to the chosen few. Meeting world leaders, dignitaries celebrities was all in day’s work as Mom Constance and her daughters Donnalou, Marcy, Annlyn and Danabeth lived the Zambelli lifestyle created by their famous patriarch George “Boom-Boom” Zambelli, Sr.

“ I traveled with my parents from the time I was 15 months old. They took me everywhere: the World Series, conventions, royal palaces and presidential homes, “ states Danabeth who stepped up to assume the leadership role of President of the company after the passing of her father a few years past.

Today, along with sister Marcy as Vice President, Zambelli Fireworks has not only retained its position as an innovator in the development of new shells and computerized firing methods, but they are continually seeking new and better ways to meet and exceed customer demands. This is evidenced by the achievement of earning the prestigious Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2005.

“Mom always been the woman behind the scenes,” states Marcy Zambelli. “But believe me, without her I don’t think our company would be where it is today. My brother is special to us, but there is a bond between women. Because my parents had four daughters, Zambelli Fireworks as a company will fare better. Females are less competitive than men about who’s in charge. They see the big picture and will strive to get the job done. “

This fourth of July the company will do more than 1300 displays coast to coast. Shows that will have the Zambelli magic include Mt. Rushmore, Knotts Berry Farm, The Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, FL, The City of Las Vegas, The Rockies Baseball game in Denver and many, many others.

“Our life is fireworks,” Danabeth explains and our name is on every single shell we fire. We’ll keep going, providing fun and amusement to others. My sisters and I were raised on electrifying the heavens, and it’s all that we really care about. Our goal is to keep our company on top and bring joy to others. I know I’ll always remain in the business.”

We care so much about what my Dad has built. We all care and work hard at what we know and do best,” states Danabeth. “Really when you get right down to it-- it’s not a matter of only liking my work it’s that I truly love my life.”
