Each year, the American Galvanizers Association honors projects that showcase the versatility and long-term value of hot-dip galvanizing. Spanning a wide number of industries, the Excellence Awards highlight how galvanizing contributes to durable, low-maintenance solutions that stand the test of time.

Hot-dip galvanizing is a trusted solution for long-lasting corrosion protection, relied upon for its durability and unmatched performance. This video provides a step-by-step look at the galvanizing process, showcasing how steel is transformed with a protective zinc coating that stands up to the toughest conditions. From surface preparation to the final finish, see how this process ensures strength and longevity for projects of all sizes.

Rugged and often remote, the Western Provinces are no place for an inexperienced galvanizer. With many project challenges unique to our region, a dependable and local coatings partner is vitally important. Our proven background includes a long history and a solid track record of delivering quality coatings within Western Canada.

AZZ is pleased to exhibit for the first time at FABTECH Canada, taking place in Toronto from June 11-13.

Paul Doherty, President and CEO of The Digit Group, comments on how the integration of galvanized steel enhances the structural integrity and sustainability of architectural designs.

Navajo Lake State Park, just a short 40 miles east of Farmington, New Mexico, is the ultimate playground for adventurers. With 150 miles of shoreline, New Mexico’s second largest lake is the perfect getaway for boating, sailing and fishing enthusiasts.

At latitude 42.10° N and longitude 102.87° W sits the small community of Alliance, Nebraska, where winter temperatures can dip below -25°F with wind chill factors at times falling well below -50°F. The words dry, cold and formidable are an accurate description for winter in this part of the country. This is not the kind of place you expect to grow some of the best citrus fruits in the country, but that’s exactly what’s happening in Alliance.

The southeastern United States, with its picturesque coastal landscapes and vibrant industrial hubs, faces a unique challenge: corrosion. The region’s high humidity, frequent rainfall, and proximity to the ocean make it a prime breeding ground for rust and deterioration. However, there is a formidable solution that has proven its mettle time and time again – hot-dip galvanizing.

“AZZ Galvanizing – Houston West” helped an innovative waste solutions manufacturer expand its rugged and durable product line and took home another AGA Excellence Award for AZZ in the process.

Best design practice for corrosion protection suggests to avoid dissimilar metals in contact whenever possible. Zinc, used to coat hot-dip galvanized fasteners, sacrifices itself to protect nearly every other metal, diminishing its longevity. Therefore, to enhance corrosion protection, hot-dip galvanized fasteners are recommended for galvanized structural assemblies.

The International Fastener Expo (IFE) is the largest B2B expo for fasteners, tooling, and machinery in North America.
