Golden Giant Building Systems and the Egg Processing Company designed a state-of-the-art egg processing facility in western Ohio. The egg processing company, one of the largest privately owned and operated egg processing facilities in the Midwest, houses over two million chickens on the farm. They produce approximately 145,000 dozen eggs per day, that totals over 37 million eggs per year. It’s a fully automated facility from start to finish, quite a site to behold. The automated equipment washes and sanitizes the eggs and then stored at the processing plant. The egg is then transported to either the shell egg market or the egg products market. Each stage of this module, time and temperature variables are key. The ventilation system makes the difference, optimal climate temperature and relative humidity levels in the barn ensures a comfortable and consistent living environment for the laying hens, better egg production, and good animal health.

As mentioned earlier a 700,000 lb. project that took approximately 18 months to galvanize and install. The galvanizer worked closely with Golden Giant Building Systems to meet their scheduling demands. Inside sales / Plant Manager and Operations Manager effectively navigated the galvanizing of material for on-time deliveries. The constant communication made this project a success, based on the project results between galvanizer and Golden Giant, the next 400,000 lb. phase is coming to the galvanizer in December of 2024.

Protecting America's Infrastructure One Dip at a Time

Bridge Port I

BridgePort I's 243,600 square foot distribution center on a remediated 60-acre site required 25 tons of hot-dip galvanized steel for rooftop access systems, with proximity to the galvanizing facility enabling direct delivery of large sections for seamless installation.

Connesville Bridge

Crawford Avenue Bridge's $11.5 million rehabilitation project replaced the 65-year-old structure with a 490-foot, six-span steel stringer bridge featuring hot-dip galvanized girders, cross frames, and splice plates for corrosion protection near the Youghiogheny River. The new design includes expanded vehicle capacity, a seven-foot bike lane, and six-foot sidewalk for enhanced pedestrian and bicycle safety.

Purina Nestle Cooper Steel Green Acres

Nestlé Purina’s $550M pet food facility in Batavia, OH—its first new factory since 1975—will create 300 jobs and feature advanced robotics. Cooper Steel and the galvanizer partnered to deliver over 3,500 tons of steel across 150+ truckloads on a fast-track timeline, ensuring on-time delivery for this massive 1.2M sq ft project.

Bedford High School

Bedford High School's "Kicking Mule" mascot statue was crafted from over 750 recycled horseshoes donated by the local Amish community and hot-dip galvanized to ensure long-lasting durability at the football stadium entrance. This 715-pound community project was completed through donated materials and services for the 2024 homecoming celebration.
