Arek Baginski, Grand Marshal of the Pulaski Parade 2025 – biographical note

Arkadiusz (Eric) Baginski, now an experienced business leader known for his visionary approach to technology and innovations, was born on December 14, 1970, in Zambrow as the oldest of four siblings.

He has lived in America for 35 years. Before emigrating, I attended the Mechanical Technical School in Bialystok.

From the beginning of his journey in the United States, he was associated with New Jersey and Passaic (his first place of residence in the USA), which remain remarkably close to him today. He was an active Polish activist and, for 18 years, the chairman of the contingent from this city operating at the Shrine of Saint John Paul II at the Holy Rosary Church.

Professionally, he is a successful businessman in the construction industry. He started as an employee in a roofing company, and after five years, he decided to run his own business. In 1995, Arco Construction was established. It is one of the best-known companies on the East Coast, specializing in roofing and building facades. Next year, Arco's 30th anniversary coincides with the 15th anniversary of Fairfield Metal, another venture by the enterprising businessman (in this case, a facade made of composite aluminum panels).

To diversify his business activities, A. Baginski also decided to invest in gastronomy and services related to organizing events. - This is a new passion, two restaurants, one of which has already been renovated and is operating dynamically, and the other is undergoing renovation - explains the businessman.

Arkadiusz Baginski has kept faith, thanks to his parents, Stanislaw and Barbara. He lives in Fairfield with his wife, Ashley, and their two children, Noah, 25, and Angelina, 14. Arek is interested in automotive, sports, and, of course, innovations from the construction industry.
