Driving growth through advanced metal coating solutions and strategic market leadership
Founded in 1956, AZZ has solidified its position as North America’s premier provider of galvanizing and metal coating solutions. The company holds leading market positions in its two operating segments, each approximately double that of its nearest competitor. CEO Tom Ferguson attributes this success to its customer-first philosophy, advanced technology and extensive market presence. With 41 locations specializing in hot-dip galvanizing and 13 dedicated to coil coating, AZZ’s operations span the United States and Canada, providing unparalleled solutions across diverse end markets.
“Our expansive footprint and investment in technology have allowed us to provide unparalleled flexibility and quick turnaround times, advantages that have set us apart from our peers in the marketplace,” says Ferguson.
Clients benefit from AZZ’s cutting-edge technologies. Its industry-leading Digital Galvanizing System (DGS) enhances operational efficiency and delivers superior customer service by providing clients with order status updates in real-time. Meanwhile, its Coil Zone technology provides customers with an online portal where they can select paint colors as well as view order status information with unmatched flexibility.
AZZ’s end markets include a variety of industries, including construction, industrial, transportation, consumer and electrical, offering solutions from galvanizing structural beams for large infrastructure projects to specialized coating for aluminum beverage cans. It works across residential and nonresidential construction markets, with a broad portfolio of coating solutions that are found on today’s metal roofs and garage doors, as well as hot-dip galvanized steel finishing for large-scale utility projects, including solar and electric transmission.
Clients likewise benefit from AZZ’s high regard for environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices. Making it to Newsweek’s “America’s Most Responsible Companies” for two consecutive years in 2023 and 2024, the metal coating specialist is dedicated to further reducing emissions across its whole value chain, reinforcing its leadership in sustainable practices.
Moving forward, AZZ is set to expand operations with its new coil coating facility outside of Washington, Missouri, while continuing to collaborate with organizations such as Texas A&M University to drive innovation.
“We have a strategic relationship in place with Texas A&M and remain open to exploring new ideas and relationships that could further improve our operations and customer experience,” says Ferguson.
