Ajay Fibreglass (The company from which The Tank Factory was born) began manufacturing a range of quality fibreglass reinforced water and molasses storage tanks on a property just outside of Alstonville NSW.
Within eighteen months the original manufacturing facility was too small and a new factory was built in the local industrial estate. The main market in the initial years was between Brisbane and Coffs Harbour and west to Tenterfield. Demand grew strongly in the first ten years and Ajay Fibreglass employed 4-6 staff.
The market for rainwater storage tanks broadened in the early nineties. Poly tanks became very popular and were in strong demand. The New Generation™ range of Duraplas tanks was like nothing else and hit the market by storm. The combined New Generation™ design features such as computer aided rib design, dome self-supporting roof and no vertical parting lines were unique and placed Duraplas Tanks in a class of their own.
Demand rapidly grew and by 2005 the company was manufacturing 24 hours a day, six days a week. The fleet of eighteen delivery trucks now serviced a market from Canberra in the south to Rockhampton in North Queensland.
The Tank Factory goes live. This newly established totally web based company instantly establishes itself as the number one online tank retailer. Thousands of web based clients were now purchasing direct from the manufacturer from the convenience of their own home, and with complete access to our highly sought-after tank range. The Tank Factory website makes the whole process easy, and provides all the information customers need to choose the perfect tank for their property, including photos, dimensions, specifications and more. This is all backed by the support of our experienced staff ready to assist with any queries. Quality Duraplas Poly Tanks and Kingspan Water Steel Tanks are exclusively supplied, delivering customers the best tanks in the industry at discount prices.
Customers love being able to easily order online and have a quality tank delivered to their door, while still benefiting from the same good old fashioned service, not normally experienced when ordering products online.
Online sales have now increased dramatically and The Tank Factory had it’s biggest ever year in 2017! More and more customers are turning to The Tank Factory, now synonymous for quality and value in the tank industry.
With water becoming increasingly a rare and precious commodity, the sales team at The Tank Factory look forward to helping thousands more customers capture and safely store their own rainwater in the years ahead.
We look forward to assisting with your next tank purchase, whether it be a round tank, slimline tank, perhaps one of our underground varieties, or a model from our steel tank range.
The Tank Factory wins the 2018 Excellence in Business Award, and becomes a 2018 State Finalist. While we work day in day out to deliver excellent products and service to our valued customers, it’s exciting to be recognised as a leader in the field, and we’re thrilled to have received this award and become a state finalist.
