The AlumiTank story began with a need and a vision. Founded in 1989 by Bob and Terry Kirkpatrick, AlumiTank was born from their experience in the trucking industry and a belief that they could build a better, more accessible aluminum fuel tank.
What started as late nights and hand-built equipment has grown into a trusted name in aluminum fuel tank manufacturing, serving everyone from owner-operators to some of the largest logistics and rail companies in North America.
Our roots go deeper: Kirkpatrick Trucking was founded in 1938 by Seth Kirkpatrick, and that dedication to trucking has stayed in the family. Today, the same grit and pride drives our team of welders, engineers, and sales professionals to deliver unmatched quality and support.
