1 Meridian Manufacturing Group

Who Is Meridian Manufacturing Group?Meridian Manufacturing Group is proud to be the innovator of the all-welded, smooth-wall hopper bin. We are known for our bins with theFRIESEN, GRAIN MAX and WHEATLAND labels. Meridian is thelargest smooth-wall manufacturer with offices and manufacturing facili-ties in Camrose Alberta, Lethbridge Alberta, Winkler Manitoba andStorm Lake Iowa.

Meridian started in 1965 with the first hopper bin design and over theyears we have launched many innovations and design changes, eachadvancing and improving the hopper bin experience. Advancementsinclude leg ring designs, slide gates, steel foundations, safety features,aeration and powder coating to mention a few. With a completely pre-built and painted bin, Meridian designed custom trailers which allowsdelivery to virtually any farm or commercial operation across NorthAmerica.

In 1990, the Meridian Built Friesen Bulk Seed Tender was introduced tothe agricultural market. Our product line now includes twelve differenttender models to accommodate any farming geographical region ofNorth America. The needs of the farmer have been met with great suc-cess through the use of two different conveying methods: polycup flyting,and the incline cleated belt conveyor. Five models in our line of SeedExpress tenders all utilize the cleated belt conveyors allowing greatertransfer volume of seed at a slower speed, reducing any chance of dam-age to the seed. Our Seed Express BWT models are designed for seedretailers and farmers looking for a multi seasonal scaling system, weighwagon. The Seed Titan series tenders are designed to accommodateeither two or four bulk seed boxes; two models with polycup augers andtwo models using the cleated belt conveyor. The Titan seed tenders areequipped with the patented lock and go system. All Meridian build BulkSeed Tenders come standard with a highly durable baked powder coatfinish.

Other Meridian product innovations include the Air Shuttle aeration sys-tem, double-wall fuel tanks and specialty oil tanks, serving both the agri-culture and petroleum industries.

Meridian's best references are the thousands of farmers who have expe-rienced Meridian Built hopper bins and completely trust them for theirmost valued products - feed, fertilizer, seed and of course their harvest-ed crops.

Meridian Manufacturing Group is a member of the Westman Group ofCompanies, a dynamic entrepreneurial group of companies also com-posed of: Behlen Industries, Westman Steel Industries, Frontier Laserand Canada Culvert. WGI is recognized as one of "Canada's BestManaged Companies".

QualityAll of our steel components and materials are designed and selected utilizing our suppliers latesttechnology to ensure the best quality bulk seed tender for each application. All sheeting is careful-ly selected for various qualities including strength and cleanliness. Our steel storage standards helpus meet the Meridian Built standard.

WorkmanshipMeridian’s workmanship sets the standard of excellence unmatched in the industry. The work-manship on our tenders reflects the attitude of an enthusiastic and skilled production teamwho are confident each Meridian customer will be proud of their tenders for many years.

Meridian is continually investing in the latest technology, equipment and training programs inan on-going effort to improve the Meridian tender experience.

Premium PowderCoatingPremium powder coating is achieved by Meridian’s choice as the industry leader to continual-ly invest and improve. The steps and procedures we implement throughout our entire produc-tion process helps ensure our Premium Coating. Our steel selection, equipment and weldingprocedures, virtually eliminate all dirt and splatter. The entire surface area, including seamsare carefully pre-cleaned in preparation for Meridian’s exclusive powder coat. After powder-ing, the tender is baked to over 320 degrees, resulting in an extremely durable corrosion andabrasion resistant finish. These procedures and our Premium Powder Coat finish allowMeridian to set yet another high industry standard.

The quality of Meridian’s powder is visibly noticeable, but other characteristics make powdercoating the preferred paint finish. Standard liquid paints oxidize, crack, peal, are not as slip-pery for cleaning out, and generally do not stand up to corrosive or adverse environments likehigh quality powder coating.

Best DesignSince our first Bulk Seed Tender in 1990, each revision and updated drawingis a step forward as we respond to our customers changing needs whileimplementing the latest innovations in design and engineering. Somechanges include design for various seed products, larger volume through-out,increased holding capacities, and an effective paint adhesion process for thetenders and the trailers they are mounted on.
