Modular spaces from Wilmington-based company Infinite Structures appeared this year at the Super Bowl, Coachella and at the bottom of the half pipe at Shaun White’s inaugural The Snow League event in Aspen, Colorado.
For Infinite Structures CEO David Fioravanti, the Aspen event was one of the coolest projects the company has worked on so far – a three-story glass VIP building right at the bottom of the half pipe.
“NBC was airing the whole contest, The Snow League,” Fioravanti said, “so our system was on TV quite a lot.”
Infinite Structures specializes in designing, manufacturing and installing modular structures for entertainment, government and commercial uses. The structures, which are made from steel or aluminum, are unique because they collapse to allow easier transport.
“If you can envision an 8 (foot) by 20 (foot) box that collapses down into almost like a flat sandwich pack,” Fioravanti said, “so it capitalizes on reduced trucking, reduced labor, reduced heavy equipment on-site.”
The modular structures can also be reused for multiple projects and installed for two weeks for a music festival like Coachella, Fioravanti said, or for years at a time. The firm manufactures its modular structures at a production facility in Wisconsin.
“The beauty of the system is it’s so versatile that there are so many different levels of what you could do with it,” he said. “It allows clients to really cater specifically to what their needs are.”
After over 35 years in the entertainment industry, Fioravanti has connections that have helped fuel “exponential” growth for the Wilmington-based company. He entered the entertainment industry at 20 and went on to own a production company before becoming a tour manager for bands at several record labels.
About 15 years ago, Fioravanti moved to Wilmington for a position at Filmwerks, a company in Rocky Point that builds temporary and semi-permanent structures for the broadcast, events and entertainment industry. There, he served as the company’s president, building up a structure and scenic division, which specialized in broadcast sports.
Recognizing a void in the events marketplace, Fioravanti’s business partners Mike Zorena and Bryan Perl founded Infinite Structures in April 2024.
Fioravanti joined Infinite Structures as CEO in September 2024. Fioravanti, Zorena and Perl each serve as the company’s principals, with Zorena as the company’s president and Perl overseeing manufacturing.
Because of their collective relationships within the entertainment industry, that sector of the company’s work was the first to take off, Fioravanti said.
“We focused in the short term on the entertainment because myself and my background and my depth of relationships were in that market,” he said. “That allowed us to catapult this system out there and get the exposure that we needed to be able to open up exposure into these commercial and government markets.”
Looking ahead, the company is working to expand into new sectors. They’re in negotiations with municipalities across the U.S. on prospective projects, Fioravanti said.
The company is looking to grow its employees and physical footprint as it sees new business, Fioravanti said.
Infinite Structures employs 12 people, including designers, project managers, production managers and administrators, at its corporate offices in downtown Wilmington and works regularly with around 10 independent contractors.
Even with the growth, company officials are keeping a close eye on conversations around tariffs and the impacts higher prices on steel and aluminum could have on the structures it designs and produces.
“We’re watching it very closely,” Fioravanti said, “and we’re mitigating it, buying as much as we can when we can.”
