Westeel helped pioneer corrugated steel grain
storage back in the 1920s and continues to today. As
one of North America's largest producers of grain bins
and tanks, Westeel is a leader in design innovation,
quality and product selection.
Westeel's Centurion series of commercial storage bins utilizes upright technology called Variable
Section Stiffener (VSS) that uses larger stiffener
sections where there is greater vertical load. For
longer life, Centurion bins also use Grade G115
galvanizing, which is 25% heavier than the traditional standard G90.
In 2013, Westeel debuted its new patented commercial roof design featuring purlin-free assembly.
