LG Energy Solution and Honda Motor Company agreed to a joint venture to produce lithium-ion batteries in Jeffersonville, Ohio which is located 40 miles southwest of Columbus, Ohio. The two companies overall invested 4.4 billion in the joint venture for the new EV hub, creating over 2,200 jobs. The value systems of both companies are very similar, they respect people, they are about fairness, their cultural value they share will be the foundation of success moving forward.The pouch type lithium-ion batteries will be mass produced in Jeffersonville, Ohio and supplied to Honda auto plants to produce EV’s sold in North America.

The EV Battery Plant spans over 2 million square feet or in layman’s terms: 78 football fields. Massive commitment for Turner Construction, fabricator Mound Technologies and the galvanizer to meet on-time deliveries daily, weekly and monthly. Galvanizing over 1000 tons in a 6-month period was a huge commitment and took constant communication with both Mound Technologies and the galvanizer. Trucks in and out daily with 24 – 48-hour turnaround times. As the Operation Manager & Plant Manager for the galvanizer always mention: “We never say no, just get us the steel brother”. Great teamwork and partnerships to make it happen!!

Madison Bus BRT Shelter

Madison's bus rapid transit system Phase 1 features 45 stations with hot-dip galvanized and painted tube steel construction, requiring close fabricator-galvanizer coordination for proper vent and drain placement on architecturally exposed structural steel elements. The duplex coating system delivers both required corrosion protection and desired aesthetic color for the transit infrastructure.

Purina Nestle Cooper Steel Green Acres

Nestlé Purina’s $550M pet food facility in Batavia, OH—its first new factory since 1975—will create 300 jobs and feature advanced robotics. Cooper Steel and the galvanizer partnered to deliver over 3,500 tons of steel across 150+ truckloads on a fast-track timeline, ensuring on-time delivery for this massive 1.2M sq ft project.

APA Hawaii Solar

The Ewa Beach Solar project in Kupono, Hawaii utilized 280 tons of hot-dip galvanized ground screws to support 120,000 solar panels, creating Oahu's largest renewable energy facility with four-hour battery storage capacity. Hot-dip galvanizing was selected for superior corrosion protection in the ocean-proximity environment, ensuring long-term durability for this major grid infrastructure project.
