20 Years of ZEN Industries
Experience Creates its Own Opportunities
Today
ZEN Industries, Inc. is a
premier HVAC duct fabricator. Located in Cleveland, Ohio, ZEN delivers
high quality HVAC ductwork and fittings, as well as industrial
ductwork and specialty metal fabrications.
What ZEN is most known for, however, is saving its customers both money
and headaches by providing a comprehensive array of services few can
match.
This year ZEN turns 20. How have things changed
over the years, and what does ZEN Industries bring to the table in
2019 that would have been unthinkable in 1999?
After all, experience creates its own opportunities and brings a
special value to the marketplace.
The Origins of ZEN Industries
ZEN
was born out of the manufacturing know-how of
American Mine Door.
ZEN owner and entrepreneur Daniel Zenisek had previously taken over
the century-old mine ventilation door business and was looking for a
way to diversify and recession-proof his operations.
Using the same physical facility to fabricate HVAC ductwork seemed
the logical way to go.
At the time, those experienced in HVAC advised against it. Most
installers manufactured their own duct. Who would buy from a third
party and trust the shipments to arrive correctly and on-time?
At the newly formed ZEN Industries, they began by concentrating on
process, workflow, and precision. Over the years, that focus on a
triangle of quality concerns led to:
-
Precision-cut duct lengths designed to
reduce the number of fittings needed.
-
Delivery of fittings, curbs & rails, and
specialty duct, as needed.
-
Ordered, labeled, and shrink-wrapped
deliveries to eliminate missing pieces.
The advantages of buying ductwork from a specialized fabrication
facility quickly became apparent, and ZEN Industries began to grow.
Delivering affordable, high-quality duct on time and on budget saved
ZEN’s customers time and money: an attractive combination.
Even things as simple as a single purchase order for spiral duct,
rectangular pieces, and Snap Lock parts saves customers time and
aggravation from order, through delivery, to billing.

Comprehensive Services
When
you get right down to it, not much has changed in the manufacture of
HVAC duct over the last two decades.
Ductwork is still ductwork, although the industry has trended toward
spiral over traditional rectangular duct for its many advantages.
In order to make its mark, Zen Industries had to determine how it
could change the game in a somewhat unchanging market.
The answer was to provide everything their customers needed in a
one-stop shop. Over the years, that grew to include a comprehensive,
partnering approach now called The ZEN Way.
It started with basic shop drawing services and a new division:
ZEN M.E.P.
For clients in need of traditional shop drawings, ZEN M.E.P.
provides superior shop drawings, developed more cost-effectively
than ever before!
Utilizing
EastCoast CAD/CAM software, ZEN’s experienced draftsmen prepare
accurate duct drawings at a fraction of the cost of classical paper
drafting. We can:
-
Deliver reliable shop drawings up to 50%
faster.
-
Reduce errors to historic lows, while
meeting the most demanding specifications.
-
Deliver accurate data directly to your
fabrication facility, or ours.
-
Significantly reduce the risk of
clashes and collisions during installation.
-
Assure that each duct section is
precision fit to its location, connections, and supports –
precisely labeling all the components we manufacture.
Beyond shop drawings, ZEN also:
-
Helps you eliminate
field measuring and field layout, as well as optimize field
labor.
-
Precision Estimating.
ZEN’s experienced teams use the latest software in ways that
help you boost sales, decrease turnaround time on quotes, and
streamline the sales process.
-
Coordination Drawings.
Working with Building Information Modeling (BIM) data, ZEN can
precisely position ductwork in virtual models, eliminating
conflict between the trades on-site and resulting in significant
savings.
At ZEN Industries, we’ve seen automation and improved workflow
processes deliver real cost savings between 30% and 35%. In an
industry where labor is becoming scarcer and more valuable by the
day. Want to hear more, call us at 877-600-0274, or
