Sabre Galvanizing Welcomes SteelDay Visitors
Alvarado, Texas, September 18, 2009: Sabre Galvanizing welcomed nearly 400 guests today for AISC’s North Texas Integrated SteelDay Tour. This event coincides with the first annual SteelDay dedicated to the structural steel industry. Sabre Galvanizing was the last stop on a four facility tour taking participants through operations that showed all aspects of steel projects typically unseen during planning and construction.
Located in Alvarado, Texas, Sabre Galvanizing is one of the largest and most environmentally-friendly galvanizing facilities in the United States. Set on 35 acres with ample storage and staging space, this 42,000 square foot facility is home to one of the world's biggest operating kettles. The kettle measures 65' long x 11' deep x 9' wide, and holds 2.58 million pounds of molten zinc.
Utilizing the latest technology in hot-dip galvanizing, Sabre Galvanizing is a lean, green operation. The galvanizer's process conserves energy, reduces CO² emissions, minimizes the operational carbon footprint, and provides zero hazardous waste generation. Sabre Galvanizing recently became a member of the Green Suppliers Network, and was the basis for Alvarado's recent Texas Economic Award in Manufacturing.
"Sabre Galvanizing is proud to be a pioneer in the industry," said Carroll Baynard, Vice President and General Manager of Sabre Galvanizing. "With every step of our process being environmentally sound, we are able to offer superior quality galvanizing without damaging the environment. Sabre Galvanizing is moving North America forward in green galvanizing."
Sabre Galvanizing is the galvanizing division of Sabre Industries, Inc. The only one of its type in North America, it will set a new standard of excellence in hot-dip galvanizing. Sabre Industries has manufacturing facilities located in Alvarado, Texas; Bossier City, Louisiana; and Sioux City, Iowa.
