History of the Company and Background information

Since 1993, Tanks Direct has been one of the nation’s largest supplier of aboveground and underground storage tanks. We are proud of our standing in the national storage tank supply market, our reputation as an equipment distribution installation company, and service and maintenance provider. We strive to earn con! dence and re-peat opportunities by performing at a superior level beyond the expectations of our customers and end-users of our products.

Started in 1993, as the brain-child of Paul Robertson, President and founder, as a distribution business that would provide stor-age tanks and related equipment to the mechanical contracting community. Working with one other employee, Joel Nicchitta, VP Sales, the company slowly grew, adding additional product lines along the way. As their dedication to customer service and provid-ing the best solution for the project started to get more attention in the market, the company grew and greater relationships were formed within the mechanical, plumbing, electrical and general contracting community. As a result of this early success, the com-pany added more people and resources and additional tank related product lines.

A" er decades of continued improvement, Tanks Direct has established a reputation as the go-to resource for storage tanks and accessories, installation and service. # e company has grown to include a complete installa-tion and contracting group that allows us to provide turn-key installation services for many of our clients. In 2015, the company added a division dedicated to service and maintenance of the products we sell and install. Most recently, through and exclusive relationship with the nation’s largest ! berglass tank manufacturer, we have expanded our new geographic regions with territory representatives in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Mid-west.

Tanks Direct leads with tanks and we will always strive to be the most knowledgeable, competitive and complete storage tank and equipment company in the nation. We are de! ned by our people who are dedicated, knowl-edgeable, experienced and singularly focused on our core business. Our team works to create long standing collaborative relationships with contractors, designers, owners and end users of our products and services.
