About American Industrial Parts Group

American Industrial Parts Group was founded by a father and son team who share a passion for industry, entrepreneurship, and getting customers exactly what they need — fast. Built on decades of hands-on experience and a drive to solve real problems on the plant floor, AIPG exists to keep industrial operations running without the delays, markups, and red tape that slow everything down.

Chris Macellaro brings a lifetime of entrepreneurial experience to AIPG. Having started, led, and grown multiple businesses across his career, he knows what it takes to build something from the ground up and deliver results. His son Austin carries that same entrepreneurial spirit into the next generation — bringing fresh energy, a customer-first mindset, and a determination to prove himself in an industry that rewards expertise and reliability.

Together, they built AIPG to meet the growing demands of the modern industrial workplace. Whether it’s a maintenance team chasing down a hard-to-find PLC module to get a line back up, or a facility manager looking to liquidate surplus inventory collecting dust in a storeroom, AIPG is the team that picks up the phone, knows the part, and gets it handled. Every order matters. Every customer matters. That’s not a slogan — it’s how they run the business.

Meet Our Management Team

Chris Macellaro — Owner & Co-Founder

Chris Macellaro is a seasoned entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience spanning industrial, mechanical, electrical, and sales disciplines. His career has taken him through the full arc of industrial business — from hands-on work in the field to building and leading companies of his own. That depth of experience gives Chris an instinctive understanding of what industrial buyers need, what fair value looks like, and how to source the right part at the right price. At AIPG, Chris leads with the same principles that have guided every business he’s built: integrity, hustle, and an uncompromising commitment to doing right by the customer.

Austin Macellaro — Owner & Co-Founder

Austin Macellaro is a young entrepreneur who brings energy, focus, and a relentless drive to everything he does. Growing up around business and industry gave Austin a foundation that most people spend years trying to build — and he’s built on it fast. At AIPG, Austin is the face of the customer experience, ensuring that every interaction — from the first inquiry to the final delivery — reflects the standard of service the company was founded on. Austin believes that exceptional customer satisfaction isn’t a department, it’s a culture, and he works every day to make sure AIPG lives up to that standard.

Austin’s First Panel Breakdown

“Every father should remember that one day his son will follow his example instead of his advice.”

— Charles F. Kettering

Some lessons can’t be taught in a classroom. The photo below captures one of those moments — Austin’s first hands-on panel breakdown, working side by side with Chris. It’s a snapshot of what AIPG is really built on: passing knowledge from one generation to the next, getting your hands dirty, and learning that the best way to understand this industry is to live it.
