He was responsible for the planning and procurement of new machinery; schedule implementation; the development and implementation of budgets, team-building and training. He later added the management of the heat-treating department, the laser cutting area and the production of Wilson machine knives and blades.

In 2009, Spinelli was selected as leader of operations for Hyde Industrial Blade Solutions (IBS). In this role he collaborated with the sales and marketing team to facilitate growth of the IBS division and maintained control of all manufacturing departments linked to the division.
