Collaboration leads to success at Ozinga’s new terminal
Ozinga is a fifth-generation family business that has been supplying the construction industry throughout Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan and South Florida for almost a century. What started as a small coal yard has grown into a premier supplier of concrete and materials solutions.
As business has grown, the company needed a terminal in the Port of Palm Beach to support their concrete business. This was a challenging location. The site is in a tourist area subject to high interest from local government with considerable desire to maintain a pleasing aesthetic. It was also a complex project because Ozinga wanted to utilize a mechanical ship unloader with a pneumatic conveying system – the first time, to the team’s knowledge, a solution quite like this had been attempted worldwide. Thankfully, Ozinga had already assembled the perfect team to pull it off following a successful first project in Chicago with Dome Technology and Fuller.
