Fisher Tank Company

The company continued to grow steadily, adding equipment, personnel, and capabilities to its Chester fabrication shop. In 1975, Fisher Tank established operations in South Carolina to take advantage of the growing industrial activity in the Southeast, offering tank design, construction, and repair services to a variety of potential customers. “They came down to South Carolina and built a plant and started a sales force,” says Windham. “There are no re- fineries in Carolina, so we diversified and got into the chemical industry; we did water tanks; we did industrial work; we did a whole host of different things.” Today, the Fisher Tank Company is a leading, full-service, welded steel tank fabricator and constructor with unmatched expertise working in a wide range of industries, including: ter- minals and pipelines, power, municipal water storage, water and waste treatment, oil and gas, pulp and paper, chemical, fire protection, fueling, ethanol and bio diesel, industrial, and mining sectors. “One of our strengths is that we’re very diverse in the markets we serve, but with one major product,” Windham insists. “We build one thing and that’s a field erected weld- ed steel storage tank. We fabricate the parts in one of our plants and those parts are sent out to the field to get built by the boilermakers.” The company has two plants – the original one in Chester, PA– a 55,000-sq.-ft. fabrication and maintenance shop with plate cutting, bevel FISHER TANK COMPANY
