The Zidell Companies is a family-owned group of three Portland-based businesses in the maritime transportation sector. It comprises Zidell Marine Corporation, Tube Forgings of America, and ZRZ Realty, each serving a distinct area of maritime activity. Zidell Marine began by scrapping steel from WWII ships and later moved into constructing new steel barges, ultimately building and launching more than 300 vessels. Tube Forgings of America grew from Zidell’s shipboard pipe knowledge into a nationally recognized manufacturer of precision welding fittings. ZRZ Realty oversees Zidell Yards, a redevelopment project on the Willamette River waterfront just south of downtown Portland. The company operates from Portland, delivering a mix of maritime, manufacturing, and redevelopment activities.
