Business Description
AZZ Inc. was established in 1956 and incorporated under the laws of the State
of Texas. We are a global provider of galvanizing services, welding solutions,
specialty electrical equipment and highly engineered services to the power generation,
transmission, distribution, refining and industrial markets. We operate in two
segments; Energy and Galvanizing. AZZ Galvanizing is a leading provider of metal
finishing solutions for corrosion protection, including hot dip galvanizing
to the North American steel fabrication industry. AZZ Energy is dedicated to
delivering safe and reliable transmission of power from generation sources to
end customers, and automated weld overlay solutions for corrosion and erosion
mitigation to critical infrastructure in the energy markets worldwide.
AZZs Energy Segment is a leading provider of specialized products and services
designed to support industrial, nuclear and electrical applications. Our product
offerings include custom switchgear, electrical enclosures, medium and high
voltage bus ducts, explosion proof and hazardous duty lighting, nuclear safety-related
equipment and tubular products. In addition to our product offerings, AZZs
Energy Segment focuses on extension of life cycle for the power generation,
refining and industrial infrastructure, through automated weld overlay solutions
for corrosion and erosion mitigation. The markets for our Energy Segment are
highly competitive and consist of large multi-national companies, along with
numerous small independent companies. Competition is based primarily on product
quality, range of product line, price and service. While some of our competitors
are much larger than us, our Energy Segment offers some of the most technologically
advanced solutions and engineering resources developed from a legacy of proven,
reliable product options, allowing AZZ Energy to be ideally positioned to meet
the most challenging application-specific demands.
The Galvanizing Segment provides hot dip galvanizing to the steel fabrication
industry through facilities located throughout the United States and Canada.
Hot dip galvanizing is a metallurgical process in which molten zinc is applied
to steel. The zinc alloying renders corrosion protection to fabricated steel
for extended periods of up to 50 years. As of February 29, 2016, we operated
forty-three galvanizing plants, which are located in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona,
Colorado, Indiana, Illinois, Louisiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia
in the United States and Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia, Canada.
