Industries (Pty) Ltd has more than 30 years of experience in the supply of Turnkey Process Solutions and Specialised Stainless Steel Vessels.
Briefly introduce Metal Tank Industries.
Metal Tank Industries is a specialist engineering and fabrication company focused on the design, manufacture, and installation of stainless steel vessels and process equipment. Over the last 30 years, we have developed a strong reputation for delivering high-quality process turnkey solutions to a wide variety of industries, including food and beverage, brewing, chemical processing, detergent, pharmaceutical, mining, and agricultural processing.
Whilst specialised tank fabrication remains at the core of what we do, our offering extends well beyond that. We provide complete turnkey process solutions that include pipework, valves, pumps, instrumentation, cooling systems, heating systems, straining systems, walkways, electrical controls, and an inline illing system. Additionally, we offer a full logistics service throughout sub-Saharan Africa as well as on-site installation and commissioning. We are conveniently located in Gauteng, South Africa, only 20 minutes east of OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg. We are wellequipped to load and deliver to all countries in subSaharan Africa.
We have an extensive fabrication facility equipped with the latest vertical tank building technology and automated welding processes. Our fabrication plant is completely unique and differentiates us from other tank manufacturers on the continent. We can build very large vessels and plants with multiple vessels in a short time, to the highest quality, thanks to our automated welding capabilities.
We work with a diverse client base ranging from growing regional manufacturers to well-established multinational companies, with projects extending across the African continent.
Our core focus is to form long-lasting partnerships with our clients and support them on their journeys of growth.
What differentiates Metal Tank Industries from the competition?
What truly differentiates Metal Tank Industries is our ability to deliver complete, customised turnkey process solutions and/or large vessels or plants with multiple vessels within a very short turnaround time. We also provide a total end-to-end solution for process plants that require stainless steel tanks as their core component. Every project is approached with a strong focus on understanding the client’s process and budget requirements as well as their operational goals.
Our fabrication facility is both unique and bespoke and produces tanks using highly efficient automated vertical tank building technology as well as automated welding technology in a manufacturing system unlike any other in Africa.
From design, fabrication, and manufacturing to installation and commissioning, we remain closely involved with our clients’ needs throughout the entire project. This hands-on approach, combined with our focus on quality workmanship and practical engineering and fit-or-purpose build expertise, allows us to deliver solutions that are reliable, efficient, and cost-eective whilst remaining completely tailored to each client’s specific needs.
Can you expand on your experience in providing turnkey solutions?
Providing turnkey solutions has become a key part of our offering. Over the last 30 years, we have built extensive experience in delivering fully integrated turnkey process systems for various industrial sectors.
Our scope typically includes engineering design, fabrication of stainless steel process vessels and tanks, piping reticulation systems, and full on-site installation and commissioning. By managing the project as a complete package, we ensure better integration between components, improved efficiency, and smoother project execution.
Much of our work has been within the food and beverage sector, where strict hygiene standards and precision engineering are essential. Through our experience, we have developed the expertise required to meet these demands whilst helping clients optimise their production processes.
Specifically, our entire team rom design through fabrication to installation and commissioning has developed strong expertise and experience with African Opaque Beverages, which includes popular products such as maize-based drinks, maheu, sorghum-based drinks, and sorghum beer, both carbonated and traditional.
We have a highly qualified and experienced opaque beverages team that delivers total turnkey project solutions relating to Maheu and Sorghum Brewing Plants.
Our current projects extend throughout Southern Africa and give us a strong pedigree to increase our offering into other regions of the African continent.
Could you elaborate on your partnership with Trade Kings Group?
Our partnership with Trade Kings Group goes back almost 20 years.
Our relationship has developed through many successful projects over the years. Trade Kings is one of the leading fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) manufacturers in the region, and working together has created a strong collaborative relationship. We have been entrusted to supply many tanks, components, and solutions for the group, ranging in size and capacity, over the last two decades. We have worked closely with Trade Kings’ incredible team to understand the requirements and execute accordingly, both on time and on budget.
Through our collaboration, Metal Tank Industries has contributed specialised engineering, fabrication, and equipment solutions, whilst Trade Kings has brought extensive process experience and operational insight. The partnership allows both companies to combine their strengths to develop efficient manufacturing and processing systems that support large-scale production, continued innovation and successful rollout.
Are there any recent or upcoming projects you would like to highlight?
Yes, Metal Tank Industries worked closely with Trade Kings / Dairy Gold Team to design, install, and commission the new Maheu Plant at the MFEZ site. This was an exciting collaboration between the two teams to create a new world-class plant for a product that both teams have been working on together for nearly two decades.
We continue to be involved in several exciting projects within the food and beverage and processing sectors, as well as the chemical and industrial sectors. Our strong presence and reputation in the sub-continent allow us to be a supplier of choice for new investments and upgrades in these manufacturing sectors.
We are also currently involved in numerous projects involving large-capacity stainless steel vessels, as well as ongoing plant expansion work for clients looking to increase their production capabilities. These projects highlight the growing demand for efficient, highquality processing solutions across the region.
Looking ahead, what are Metal Tank Industries’ key priorities?
Looking ahead, our focus is on continuing to strengthen our engineering and fabrication capabilities through extensive investment in world-class automation technology, whilst expanding our footprint and product offering across Africa. As more industries invest in local manufacturing and processing capacity, there is an increasing demand for reliable engineering partners who can deliver complete turnkey solutions. We aim to continue building strong relationships with our clients to support the long-term growth of the industries we serve.
We believe that Africa is full of potential and needs to support and be supported by local companies, such as Metal Tank Industries, to produce world-class facilities that are built fit for purpose.
How significant a role do partnerships play in Metal Tank Industries’ success?
At Metal Tank Industries, we believe that strong partnerships are key to successful projects. Our goal is not only to manufacture equipment but to work closely with our clients to understand their processes and help them achieve efficient, reliable production systems.
By combining our engineering expertise, quality fabrication, quality installation, and practical industry knowledge, we are proud to contribute to the continued development of manufacturing and processing industries throughout Southern Africa and the wider African continent.
