Advanced facilities
Zekelman facilities are as advanced as our products, create compelling career opportunities, and set new standards for safety and efficiency.
Our factory in Rochelle, Illinois, is the most technically advanced galvanized tube manufacturing facility of its kind, capable of exceeding 300,000 tons of product annually.
The Atlas Tube facility in Blytheville, Arkansas, is the world’s largest continuous ERW tube mill and the first to offer Jumbo HSS sizes in North America.
Our investment in automated warehousing is game-changing. The Matter warehouse technology checks all the boxes:
- Keep teammates safe
- Increase speed of service
- Increase product quality
- Offer instant access to more than 10,000 bundles held in inventory
- Support faster loading of trucks
“Seeing technology like this changes the way you do business day in and day out.”

Product development
By bringing Jumbo HSS to the market, Atlas Tube opened up capacity to designers, engineers and architects, enabling them to think and plan bigger, better and more efficiently.
Jumbo HSS
By bringing Jumbo HSS to the structural steel tubing market, Atlas Tube opened up new possibilities to architects, engineers and fabricators, enabling them to think and build bigger, better and more efficiently.
Shuriken® Better Bolted Connections
HSS are more efficient and sustainable than wide-flange sections, but complicated connections and field welds have held engineers back from freely incorporating HSS into their designs. Not anymore. Shuriken is a revolutionary way to quickly and easily field-bolt HSS connections across almost any application.
Time-saving Electrical Products
Attaching couplings to electrical conduit and EMT might not seem to take much time, but you’d be amazed at how quickly the seconds add up. Wheatland Tube and Western Tube offer a full line of products with pre-installed fittings, color EMT and conduit, and extra-long EMT to bring greater efficiency to the electrical industry.
Ultra Z-Coat™
Wheatland Tube set a new pipe coating standard with Ultra Z-Coat, a UV light cured coating that dries in an instant for enhanced protection against corrosion and scratches. The smooth application enables increased stencil clarity and a sleek, processional look. Plus, it’s environmentally safe, making it the best choice for all around protection.
“New technology has improved our product quality and allows us to stock and deliver material more quickly.”
— Jesse Comber, Regional Sales Manager
Z Modular Killeen has the capacity to complete 2 million square feet of state-of-the-art multi-family housing per year.
