AZCO

What AZCO does

AZCO is a heavy industrial construction and fabrication solutions provider operating as the union self-perform arm of Burns & McDonnell. Founded in 1949 and headquartered in Appleton, Wisconsin, the company employs 501–1,000 people and delivers projects from planning through fabrication, installation, and startup across power, oil and gas, manufacturing, aviation, and government & military end markets. Its GTM is enterprise field sales executed through Burns & McDonnell's EPC delivery model, with project work secured via direct relationships with large utilities (e.g., Consumers Energy) and government entities.

AZCO's core service offerings are Construction (union self-perform heavy industrial execution) and Fabrication (90,000 square feet of shop space for in-shop modular assembly), supplemented by two specialized capabilities: Industrial Modules — a modular fabrication approach that shifts work from the field into the shop to improve safety and installation speed — and Helical Pile Foundations, which packages AZCO's fabrication and construction skills into a single foundation solution. Safety, schedule certainty, productivity, and execution discipline are positioned as the dominant functional benefits. Workforce development is delivered through formal Pre-/Youth Apprenticeship and Union Craft/Apprenticeship programs that sustain a specialized union craft labor pool.

The business model is project-based and B2B, generating revenue primarily through one-time construction services contracts and one-time fabrication services contracts. Pricing is project-specific and quote-based, with no public pricing disclosure. AZCO is 100% privately held via Burns & McDonnell and is employee-owned. Customer concentration tilts toward large regulated utilities (Consumers Energy as a publicly named reference) and federal/military buyers. Recent strategic activity is anchored by the 250 MW Muskegon Solar Energy Center project for Consumers Energy (January 2026), signaling deliberate expansion into utility-scale renewables and adjacent data center power infrastructure.
