AZZ Inc. AZZ

Company Overview

AZZ Inc. is a U.S.-based industrial company specializing in metal coating solutions that enhance the durability and corrosion resistance of steel and other metal products. The company operates primarily within the infrastructure, industrial, construction, and energy markets, providing services that support long-life steel used in critical applications such as electrical transmission, transportation, manufacturing, and commercial construction. AZZ’s core revenue drivers are protective metal coating services and pre-coated steel products, which are typically sold under long-term customer relationships and repeat-use contracts.

Founded in 1956, AZZ evolved from a regional galvanizing business into a diversified metal coatings platform through organic expansion and acquisitions. A major strategic shift occurred between 2020 and 2022, when the company divested its infrastructure solutions business and reinvested capital to focus exclusively on metal coatings, including the acquisition of Precoat Metals. This transformation positioned AZZ as a more focused, coatings-centric enterprise with scalable industrial assets and exposure to non-discretionary end markets.
