Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Franklin Electric: Franklin Electric owns legacy fuel systems brands (including Red Jacket and INCON) that make submersible pumps, line leak detectors, and ATG systems. Comparable to Tanknology's installation, line testing, and leak detector testing service lines because their equipment is integral to Tanknology's certified testing.
• Veeder-Root (Veralto, formerly Danaher): Veeder-Root is the leading manufacturer of automatic tank gauges (ATGs), leak detection sensors, and fuel management systems — the same hardware that Tanknology installs and certifies. It is a broad incumbent in the UST/AST compliance ecosystem and a partial channel competitor that can bundle compliance services with hardware.

Direct peers

• Indigo Energy Specialists: Indigo Energy offers UST/AST compliance testing, leak detection, and environmental services to petroleum retailers and distributors. Closely comparable to Tanknology's compliance testing service line and overlapping customer base, particularly in the U.S. Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
• Tank Environmental Services: Tank Environmental Services provides UST compliance, tank cleaning, corrosion protection, and inspection services to petroleum and industrial customers. Comparable service mix and customer profile to Tanknology's compliance and specialty services.
• Apex Tank & Equipment: Apex Tank & Equipment provides UST/AST inspection, tank cleaning, repair, and compliance testing for petroleum and industrial sites. The service mix, regional delivery model, and customer base are highly aligned with Tanknology's U.S. field operations.
• Tank & Pump Solutions Group: Tank & Pump Solutions provides UST/AST compliance testing, inspections, and corrosion protection services for petroleum site operators across multiple U.S. regions. It is a direct, services-only competitor to Tanknology with similar testing capabilities and customer types.
• Tanknology (cross-qualifying direct competitors): Hydrocarbon Management & Technologies (HMT) delivers UST testing, cathodic protection, and compliance services to fuel retailers and fleet operators. Comparable service line, regulatory know-how, and customer type to Tanknology's core compliance offering.
• Tri-Core Technologies: Tri-Core provides environmental compliance services including UST/AST testing, leak detection, and remediation for petroleum site operators. Comparable to Tanknology's compliance testing and inspection services, often working in tandem with petroleum distributors.

Regional players

• S&B Technical Products: S&B Technical Products provides petroleum equipment, tank testing, and compliance services concentrated in the U.S. Gulf Coast and Texas. Comparable to Tanknology's testing and ATG service lines but with a more regional footprint.

Others

• Morrison Bros. Morrison Bros. manufactures petroleum equipment for storage tanks, including overfill prevention, vapor recovery, and spill containment products. It is an adjacent supplier rather than a direct competitor, but its products are frequently installed and tested by Tanknology technicians.
