Fiberglass Tanks (FRP Tanks)

Fiberglass tanks (FRP) ready for shipment from our facilities in Tampico, Mexico.

Available Capacities

We manufacture custom fiberglass tanks with capacities ranging from:

10 to 6,000 m³, equivalent to
10,000 to 6,000,000 liters of usable storage.

We offer molds from 2 ft (0.61 m) to 60 ft (18.29 m)

Our engineering team defines the ideal diameter and height based on:

  • Available space or plant constraints
  • Regulatory compliance (ASME, API, RTP-1, etc.)
  • Transport and installation requirements

Types of Fiberglass Tanks

We offer fully custom solutions including:

  • Atmospheric tanks
  • Tanks for positive pressure or vacuum
  • Vertical or horizontal tanks
  • Rectangular tanks
  • Underground tanks
  • Double-wall tanks (secondary containment)
  • Insulated tanks
  • Food-grade tanks

Compared to steel or other traditional materials, FRP tanks offer significant advantages:

  • Up to 50% lighter, ideal for transportation and installation in hard-to-reach locations
  • Maximum corrosion resistance, even in extreme environments
  • Estimated lifespan of 15 to 40 years, depending on use and the stored product
  • Minimal or no maintenance required, reducing operating costs
  • Fully adaptable to your project’s specific requirements

Production Capacity

We have the largest capacity in Mexico for manufacturing fiberglass tanks:

  • 12 filament winding machines for simultaneous project execution
  • Over 9,300 m² of production space and 12,000 m² of dock and maneuvering yard
  • Direct access to the Port of Tampico, ideal for national and international export
