“ McWane has always maintained a growth-through-acquisition strategy, so we’ ve continued to evolve the business, expanding the number of products we produce. We’ ve also transitioned our facilities more toward a network model. Overall, the company’ s primary focus remains on pressure vessels for the propane industry as well as the industrial sector, including fire, chemical and compressed air applications.”
Today Manchester Tank is a leading OEM and refurbisher of steel and aluminum DOT cylinders and ASME pressure vessels. For decades, the company has been at the forefront of designing, manufacturing and refurbishing tanks and cylinders to ensure the safe storage and transport of propane, chemicals, compressed air and other industrial applications. Serving commercial, residential and industrial markets – including propane and chemical storage, forklifts, fire suppression, air compressors and refrigerant systems – the products are purposefully designed and engineered to meet rigorous requirements, ensuring efficient storage while maintaining safety standards.
Built with high-quality materials, Manchester Tank products ensure durability and longevity, are designed to withstand corrosive environments and meet stringent safety standards and provide users with peace of mind. Manchester Tank not only offers quality products but also provides comprehensive support, maintenance tips and troubleshooting advice. Whether for residential or commercial application, the products are designed for easy installation, saving time and effort. Furthermore, the business is always expanding its capabilities, emphasizing quality, service and simplicity.
Jordan elaborates on the range of products and services that Manchester Tank offers:“ In the propane market segment, we manufacture everything from a small, fivepound cylinder that you might take camping to a 1000-gallon tank used for residential
heating. That’ s a fairly large range. In fact, we’ re one of the only companies offering such breadth. In the industrial market segment, we produce all types of fire cylinders for fire extinguishers and compressed air tanks – from small units to a large air compressor system that would be used in factories.”
Last year Manchester Tank acquired Ditech Testing, a Canadian-based firm specializing in refurbishment services that extend the lifespan of DOT cylinders and ASME tanks for the liquid petroleum industry. Ditech can handle units ranging from 33 lbs. to 2000 gallons, catering to the largest propane suppliers, with efficient systems that set benchmarks in quality and turnaround time at every critical stage.
