AZCO INC. was founded over 50 years ago with the vision of providing customers with complete industrial construction services from A to Z.
This foresight has become the foundation of what our company is today: an employee owned, full service industrial constructor and fabricator.
Our commitment to our customers is to complete contracts on schedule and within budget. We keep this promise by providing our customers with dedicated people with special skills and in-depth experience.
1949
Four individuals identify a need in the Fox Valley for a quality
mechanical contractor to serve the industrial marketplace. Together
they form AZCO INC., signifying service
offerings from A to Z. Initially, serving the pulp and paper industry
from its base in Appleton, Wisconsin, AZCO
expands its markets to include power generation and a broad range of
manufacturing.
1953
AZCO, in response to a large
industrial ventilation project, establishes its first metal fabrication
facility.
1982
Increased demand from the food and beverage and power industries leads
to the construction of a separate stainless steel pipe fabrication shop
and major expansion of its carbon steel pipe fabrication facility.
1985
AZCO purchases HENNES ERECTING,
INC., of Appleton. HENNES ERECTING provided heavy machinery moving
and installation, power boiler and environmental services, as well as steel erecting services. The
combined firm, AZCO HENNES INC., self-performed a full range of
services to an industrial marketplace including power generation facilities, foundries
and steel mills, food processing plants and breweries, chemical and
plastic firms. AZCO® furnished a seamless
approach to its industrial owners.

AZCO drops the HENNES name from
its corporate identity reverting back to the simplicity of AZCO INC.

AZCO constructs a new metal fabrication
shop for the fabrication of ASME pressure vessels, tanks, chutes, and
heavy ductwork.

A management group forms an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) with
the non-union office staff to purchase the founder’s majority interest
in the company.
2006
AZCO INC. became 100% employee owned. Recognized by ENR as one of
the top 20 Power Contractors in the nation.
2007
AZCO's growth in sales led to the necessary addition of
40,000 square feet of shop space for pipe and metal fabrication for a combined total of 120,000 square feet. Recognized
by ENR for the second year as one of the top 20 Power Contractors in
the nation.
