For many masons and contractors, EZG is synonymous with reliable, durable, and efficient equipment. Tools like the Mud Hog Mixer, the Grout Hog Material Delivery System, and Hog Pumps have become staples on job sites across the country. But behind every piece of equipment lies a foundation of engineering, manufacturing expertise, and dedication that ensures performance in the toughest conditions.

Built from Experience
EZG Manufacturing began as EZ Grout in 1998 when founder Damian Lang sought to improve the quality of masonry equipment. His first creation, the Grout Hog, addressed common frustrations on job sites with clog-prevention mechanisms and an innovative delivery system. Over time, the product line grew to include the Mud Hog, Uphill Grout Hog, Hog Slopper, Hog Leg, Hog Trough, Fence Hog and Krack Hog to name a few. These tools have helped contractors in masonry, fencing, and hardscape industries increase efficiency, safety, and profitability.

As the company’s reputation for smart, durable solutions grew, so did its capabilities. Today, EZG Manufacturing provides contract manufacturing services, delivering precision metal fabrication and machinery solutions to industries across the country, including masonry, construction, oil and gas, material handling, and more.

Investing in Technology and Facilities
Since 1998, EZG has expanded its capabilities through ongoing investments in technology and advanced manufacturing processes. Our 185,000-square-foot facility in Malta, Ohio, along the scenic Muskingum River, is designed for efficiency, precision, and scale. Certified to ISO 9001:2015 standards, our facility ensures consistent quality and dependable results across every project.

Inside the facility, high-speed CNC laser cutting, including a Mazak 10k fiber laser and two Trumpf CO2 lasers, allows projects to move from quote to finished part in days rather than weeks. Brake presses with CNC controls deliver precise, repeatable bends, while shearing, rolling, and saw cutting capabilities shape raw materials exactly as required. AWS-certified welders, supported by a FANUC 120ic robotic welding cell, provide consistent, high-quality welding. Our in-house powder coat and wet paint booths ensure a professional finish on every part, and advanced CNC milling and turning centers allow us to handle even large and complex components efficiently.

Through these investments, EZG Manufacturing brings the same precision, quality, and efficiency that contractors trust in our masonry equipment to clients across the country.

Engineering Expertise and Custom Solutions
Technology and facilities are only part of the story. Recognized as a leading employer in the local community, EZG’s team brings decades of combined experience in masonry, construction, and other contract industries. Engineers, welders, designers, creative professionals, and support staff work closely with clients to develop tailored solutions, whether enhancing a piece of masonry equipment like the Mud Hog or designing custom machinery for other industrial applications.

This combination of skilled people and advanced facilities ensures stability, continuity, and comprehensive support for every project, allowing EZG to consistently deliver equipment and solutions contractors can rely on.

Serving a Broad Range of Industries
While our roots are in masonry, EZG’s contract manufacturing division serves clients across construction, oil and gas, material handling, food processing, lawn and garden, and medical industries. Long-term partnerships with companies like Daifuku America Corporation and Aerodyne Environmental demonstrate the trust clients place in EZG’s ability to deliver high-quality solutions.

From Tools to Turnkey Solutions
EZG Manufacturing does more than build equipment; we create solutions. Whether it is laser cutting and bending, complex machinery fabrication, or high-volume production, our team delivers services with speed, precision, and the highest quality standards. For masons, contractors, and construction professionals, that translates into safer, more efficient, and more productive job sites.

With over 20 years of experience, a talented and diverse team, and a facility equipped with the latest technologies, EZG Manufacturing continues to bring quality, innovation, and ingenuity to clients nationwide. Every Grout Hog, Mud Hog, and custom fabrication project reflects the company’s commitment to excellence.

At EZG Manufacturing, we don’t just build products. We build solutions that help contractors succeed, every project, every day.
