About MacroPodz: Durable Utility Stations for Dynamic Industries

The MacroPodz Story: Built to Solve Industry Challenges

In 2002, a leading manufacturer approached Zealtek with a challenge: they needed a standardized utility solution that could sit flat on the floor without requiring underground utilities. Existing fixed installations were costly, inefficient, and difficult to reconfigure as production needs changed.

Leveraging decades of expertise in industrial solutions, engineering, and manufacturing, Zealtek developed what would become MacroPodz—a revolutionary line of custom-built, re-deployable utility stations designed to adapt to evolving facilities. By integrating multiple utilities into one portable, overhead-fed unit, MacroPodz eliminated the need for concrete cutting while ensuring flexibility, efficiency, and long-term cost savings.

Why MacroPodz? The Meaning Behind the Name

The name MacroPodz reflects both our product’s functionality and its inspiration. “Macropods” is the scientific name for a family of marsupials, including kangaroos, known for their strength, mobility, and adaptability—qualities that embody the design and purpose of our stations.

The “Podz” highlights our modular, customizable approach to utility management. Each MacroPodz station is built to meet the specific needs of your facility, whether it’s a hygiene station for food processing or a safety pod for industrial manufacturing.

The “Z” at the end is a nod to our roots in Zealtek, honoring the decades of expertise and innovation that laid the foundation for MacroPodz.

Since its creation, MacroPodz has been trusted by industry leaders like GM, Stellantis, and Peloton to provide efficient, durable, and compliant utility solutions. With over 500 installations and two decades of experience, MacroPodz continues to redefine what’s possible in workplace utility management.

Our stations aren’t just re-deployable—they’re a long-term capital asset that evolves with your facility’s needs. Built for efficiency, compliance, and flexibility, MacroPodz delivers unmatched value across industries.
