Industry Awards FORT WORTH, Texas, April 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- AZZ incorporated , a manufacturer of electrical products and a
provider of galvanizing services today announced that the American
Galvanizing Association, a leading galvanizing industry trade

incorporated with four "Excellence in Hot-Dip Galvanizing Awards."
The association presents annual awards in 12 industry categories to
recognize projects that utilize hot-dip galvanizing in an ideal,
creative, innovative, or monumental fashion. AZZ's Aztec
Galvanizing Services -- Arizona was honored in the "Original
Equipment Manufacturing" category for the development of a unique
protocol for U-Haul International to dip entirely assembled
trailers into molten zinc baths; enabling U-Haul to eliminate all
paint specifications and the inventory required to paint and
re-paint trailers. In the "Building and Architecture" category the
Arizona galvanizing facility won the award for its work in
galvanizing "The Cloud" a signature architectural piece located at
the entrance to the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas -- one of the
largest shopping centers in the United States. Hovering 128 feet
above the 72,000 square foot plaza, "The Cloud" provides shade
during the day and doubles as an image projection surface at night
for advertising and special events. Additionally, the Arizona
facility also received an award in the "Food and Agriculture"
category for galvanizing the state-of-the-art Bidart Dairy Milking
Facility in Bakersfield, California. Utilizing heavy tubular steel
for columns, beams, and roof trusses, on down to handrails, milking
stalls and gates, AZZ galvanizing processes help the milking
facility meet the USDA's tough regulations and California's rigid
laws for safe waste disposal and environmental care. In the
"Industrial" category, AZZ's Aztec Galvanizing Services -- Houston
won the award for its work on the Lomita Rail Terminal Ethanol
Unloading Facility in Carson City, California. Aztec-Houston's
galvanizing process enabled the more than 200 tons of galvanized
tubular column frames, platform bridges, ladders, stairs and canopy
rafters of the 1,000 foot-long facility to withstand the harsh
industrial environment of corrosive chemical emissions, mist and
fumes from refineries and train exhaust. The Lomita Terminal has
the capacity to unload 95 rail cars-loaded with ethanol-in 24 hours
supplying the Los Angeles market with alternative and
environmentally friendly fuel whenever needed. About the American
