PLAISTOW, NH, November 3, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Mike Panniello Jr. has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Panniello serves as president and chief executive officer of Century Leasing Corporation, a family-owned business based in Plaistow, New Hampshire, with more than 55 years of experience in storage rentals. Since assuming day-to-day leadership in 2019, he has guided the company's evolution from traditional dry and refrigerated storage rentals toward a more convenient, customer-focused approach to mobile cold storage. Through trailers and containers that operate on standard 110-volt power, the company has made cold storage more accessible to a wider range of customers and locations, opening the door to previously underserved markets.

Mr. Panniello takes a hands-on approach to leadership, overseeing all areas of Century Leasing's business, including sales, rentals, operations, manufacturing and service. He remains closely involved in customer relationships, emphasizing practical solutions and responsive service, and is personally available around the clock when urgent needs arise. Despite significant growth over the past five years, he has maintained a workplace where employees are treated like family and work together as a close-knit team. He credits that sense of friendship, trust and shared commitment as an important part of the company's success.

A defining achievement in Mr. Panniello's career grew from an opportunity he and his late father recognized: combining small cargo trailers with Century Leasing's longstanding expertise in refrigerated rentals. Traditional refrigerated rentals often required diesel fuel or electrical connections installed by an electrician, creating added coordination for customers who needed cold storage quickly. They saw an opportunity to simplify that process with trailers powered by a standard 110-volt outlet, allowing customers to arrange ready-to-use cold storage with a single phone call. What started as a side project evolved through more than a decade of hands-on development, testing and refinement into the mobile refrigerated trailers Century Leasing manufactures today. Drawing on the family's experience and direct feedback from customers, Mr. Panniello has continually refined the trailers with an emphasis on durability, dependable performance, and ease of use.

Mr. Panniello's work ethic took root long before he joined Century Leasing full time. As a child, he accompanied his father to the family business during summers and school vacations, learning firsthand the meaning of hard work from his father and grandfather. Throughout college, he continued working at Century Leasing whenever he was home. He graduated magna cum laude from Southern New Hampshire University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration before joining the company full time. These experiences shaped the hands-on approach and commitment to service he brings to the business today.

Founded by Mr. Panniello's grandfather in 1969 just outside Boston Massachusetts, Century Leasing built its foundation in trucking and dry and refrigerated storage rentals. The company relocated to Plaistow, New Hampshire, in 2007 to provide more room for its operations and future growth.

Outside of work, Mr. Panniello enjoys spending time with his wife and their two sons. He credits the birth of his first son as a turning point, giving him a clearer sense of purpose and a renewed drive that has fueled much of Century Leasing's growth. Fatherhood also deepened his appreciation for the legacy his father and grandfather built and his determination to carry it forward for the next generation. Looking ahead, he plans to continue growing the company through practical innovation, dependable service and the family values at its foundation.
