Throughout Zeigler's history, the company has demonstrated its ability to anticipate change and thrive through transformation. Through productivity improvements, internal investments and acquisitions, Zeigler has evolved from a small regional high-sulfur coal producer at the fringes of the nation's top 50 coal companies in 1990 to one of the largest U.S. coal producers with more than three-fourths of its production and reserves in low-sulfur coal in 1996.

Today, as the largest independent coal producer in the United States, Zeigler subsidiaries operate mines in five states at 11 operations throughout all three major coal-producing regions, providing a diverse portfolio of coal products to meet the broadest range of customer needs. The three major U. S. coal regions consist of the Appalachian Region (West Virginia Pennsylvania, Virginia, Eastern Kentucky, and Ohio, the Illinois Basin (Illinois, Indiana and Western Kentucky) and the Powder River Basin (Wyoming and Montana).
