AZZ收购Seattle Galvanizing，首次进入美国太平洋西北金属镀层市场

Strategic Multi-Site Acquisition Establishes AZZ's First Metal Coatings Presence in the Pacific Northwest
FORT WORTH, Texas, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AZZ Inc. (NYSE: AZZ), the leading independent provider of hot-dip galvanizing and coil coating solutions in North America, today announced that it has acquired 100% of the equity in Seattle Galvanizing Company Inc. ("Seattle Galvanizing"), a multi-site, privately held provider of both hot-dip and spin galvanizing solutions headquartered in Arlington, Washington. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. AZZ expects the acquisition to be accretive to earnings within the first year of operation. AZZ will operate the newly acquired locations under the name AZZ Galvanizing – Seattle LLC. The business will be integrated into AZZ Metal Coatings' existing network of hot-dip galvanizing and spin plants, increasing its total galvanizing network to 43 sites in North America.
The acquisition expands AZZ Metal Coatings' geographic footprint into the Pacific Northwest, establishing a platform to serve both hot-dip and spin galvanizing customers across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Western Montana, and Alaska from two Seattle-area locations. The state-of-the-art hot-dip galvanizing location features a 45-foot kettle—the largest in the Pacific Northwest—enabling AZZ to process larger and more complex steel structures, and a recently completed 38,000-square-foot spin galvanizing location that was purpose-built to coat small to medium-sized metal components.
Hadi Mirzai, President of Seattle Galvanizing, commented, "We are proud of the rich history of Seattle Galvanizing as the Northwest's largest galvanizer and its service to our loyal customers and amazing employees. We are excited to partner with AZZ to continue this legacy for decades to come."
Todd Bella, President of AZZ Metal Coatings, commented, "We are pleased to welcome Seattle Galvanizing's employees and customers to AZZ. This acquisition is strategically important because it establishes AZZ's first direct presence in the Pacific Northwest, an attractive region supported by favorable infrastructure, industrial and construction demand. Seattle Galvanizing has built a strong reputation for quality, service and technical capability, and we look forward to building upon that foundation while continuing to deliver uninterrupted, industry-leading service to their customers."
