What Ditech Testing does

Ditech Testing is a North American propane tank refurbishing and recertification company headquartered in Scoudouc, New Brunswick, Canada, operating as a subsidiary of McWane Inc, a diversified industrial conglomerate. Founded in 1997, the company serves large and mid-size propane gas suppliers and distributors, refurbishing cylinders and bulk tanks ranging from 33 lbs to 2,000 gallons through a full-service process that includes shot blasting, pin hole repairs, hydrostatic testing, visual inspection, application of anti-corrosive coatings and aliphatic urethane top coats, valving with new RegO valves, vacuum purging, and recertification collar stamping. The company positions itself as the largest tank refurbishment service provider in the propane industry, with regulatory designations from the US Department of Transportation, Transport Canada, and the Canadian Gas Association enabling cross-border service delivery.

The company's technology stack centers on a proprietary barcoding system applied to every cylinder and tank, paired with an online account management platform that provides customers with real-time inventory tracking, recertification date monitoring, invoice access, and historical reporting at no additional cost. Integrated logistics are delivered via a company-owned GPS-tracked fleet of customized trucks and proprietary two-tier trailers capable of moving up to 500 tanks per day, with the company claiming to be the first refurbisher to cross international borders. Operations are supported by DOT-certified welders for in-house repairs and a 4-week turnaround guarantee that the company states is nearly twice the speed of competitors.

Ditech's business model is B2B enterprise field sales with dedicated regional account representatives covering Eastern/Central US and New England, supplemented by toll-free and local phone-based inquiry channels. Revenue is generated through all-inclusive per-unit pricing that bundles refurbishment, recertification, freight pickup/delivery, and inventory management under a uniform matrix structured by state, with differentiation for gauge or no-gauge options. Multi-year contracts anchor enterprise relationships with major propane distributors including AmeriGas Propane, Suburban Propane, and Superior Propane. The company's operating structure includes two documented subsidiaries, Ditech Tank Holding and Ditech Tank Transport, each with dedicated terms and conditions documents updated January 2026 in both English and French.

Broad incumbents

• AMETEK Inc. NYSE-listed (AME) manufacturer of electronic instruments and electromechanical devices, including industrial measurement, calibration, and testing equipment. Adjacent in the industrial testing and measurement capabilities that underpin tank recertification workflows.
• Chart Industries: NYSE-listed (GTLS) manufacturer of cryogenic and industrial gas equipment including bulk storage tanks, with broad exposure to industrial gas and energy end markets. Comparable in industrial gas equipment manufacturing, though focused on cryogenic and process gas applications rather than propane distribution.
• Worthington Enterprises: NYSE-listed (WOR) manufacturer of pressure cylinders and propane tanks (via its Amtrol brand) and consumer products. Larger, more diversified player in the propane tank and pressure cylinder space; serves as both a potential supply source and adjacent competitor.
• Greif Inc. NYSE-listed (GEF) global leader in industrial packaging, including steel drums and rigid intermediate bulk containers. Comparable in working with metal industrial containers at scale, though focused on container manufacturing and reconditioning for chemical/food markets rather than propane.
• Manchester Tank & Equipment Co. McWane sister company that manufactures steel propane cylinders and ASME tanks for the propane and industrial gas markets. Operates in the same propane tank value chain as Ditech, supplying new tanks to many of the same customers Ditech serves through refurbishment, and benefits from cross-portfolio synergy within McWane.
