BZI Celebrates 2024 as Another Outstanding Year

BZI® celebrated 2024 as another outstanding year in performance, customer acquisition, and industry awards and accolades. BZI expanded its operations into new areas of construction, including data centers, manufacturing facilities for batteries, microchips, electric vehicles, and food and beverage. BZI’s safety rating also continues to far exceed industry averages, with an EMR of 0.48. The company commemorated its progress and plans with team members, partners and customers at its annual “Connect Conference” in St. George, Utah earlier this month.

“Our culture of ‘Teamwork, Innovation and Action’ accomplished through trust, respect and integrity is the driver of our success,” said James Barlow, CEO of BZI. “Our accomplishments and industry endorsements are the result of the commitment, ethics and hard work our team members bring to the job every day. We look forward to sharing more significant company advancements and industry innovations in 2025.”

BZI partners and fellow industry leaders agree that BZI’s performance is impressive and signifies meaningful contributions to the industries the company serves. “As a vendor partner we have been astonished on how rapidly BZI continues to grow. As a result, we have also become more focused on ensuring we are a great partner, and value their contributions to the construction industry,” said Joe Calsada, National Accounts, Nucor Insulated Panel Group, who attended the BZI Connect Conference in January. “The construction industry has found it easy to embrace BZI’s approach to construction particularly with the ongoing growth of complexity and difficulties when constructing large scale facilities all over the country. Construction is increasingly becoming both costly and time consuming; so being able to provide steel erection methods that alleviate scheduling and budgets is extremely valuable for project owners.”

“Our companies have worked well together on various projects and have benefited from BZI’s unique & innovative practices,” added Calsada.
