We are known for our bins with the FRIESEN, GRAIN MAX and WHEATLAND labels. Meridian is the largest smooth-wall manufacturer with offices and manufacturing facilities in Camrose Alberta, Lethbridge Alberta, Winkler Manitoba and Storm Lake Iowa. Meridian started in 1965 with the first hopper bin design and over the years we have launched many innovations and design changes, each advancing and improving the hopper bin experience. Advancements include leg ring designs, slide gates, steel foundations, safety features, aeration and powder coating to mention a few. With a completely prebuilt and painted bin, Meridian designed custom trailers which allows delivery to virtually any farm or commercial operation across North America. In 1990, the Meridian Built Friesen Bulk Seed Tender was introduced to the agricultural market. Our product line now includes twelve different tender models to accommodate any farming geographical region of North America. The needs of the farmer have been met with great success through the use of two different conveying methods: polycup flyting, and the incline cleated belt conveyor. Five models in our line of Seed Express tenders all utilize the cleated belt conveyors allowing greater transfer volume of seed at a slower speed, reducing any chance of damage to the seed. Our Seed Express BWT models are designed for seed retailers and farmers looking for a multi seasonal scaling system, weigh wagon. The Seed Titan series tenders are designed to accommodate either two or four bulk seed boxes; two models with polycup augers and two models using the cleated belt conveyor. The Titan seed tenders are equipped with the patented lock and go system. All Meridian build Bulk Seed Tenders come standard with a highly durable baked powder coat finish. Other Meridian product innovations include the Air Shuttle aeration system, double-wall fuel tanks and specialty oil tanks, serving both the agriculture and petroleum industries.

Workmanship Meridian s workmanship sets the standard of excellence unmatched in the industry. The workmanship on our tenders reflects the attitude of an enthusiastic and skilled production team who 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 in an on-going effort to improve the Meridian tender experience. Premium Powder Coating Premium powder coating is achieved by Meridian s choice as the industry leader to continually invest and improve. The steps and procedures we implement throughout our entire production process helps ensure our Premium Coating. Our steel selection, equipment and welding procedures, virtually eliminate all dirt and splatter. The entire surface area, including seams are carefully pre-cleaned in preparation for Meridian s exclusive powder coat. After powdering, the tender is baked to over 320 degrees, resulting in an extremely durable corrosion and abrasion resistant finish. These procedures and our Premium Powder Coat finish allow Meridian to set yet another high industry standard. The quality of Meridian s powder is visibly noticeable, but other characteristics make powder coating the preferred paint finish. Standard liquid paints oxidize, crack, peal, are not as slippery for cleaning out, and generally do not stand up to corrosive or adverse environments like high quality powder coating.

Meridian s sales team in addition to our dealer network is available to help with those decisions.
