United Fiberglass

What United Fiberglass does

United Fiberglass Inc. (UFI) is a privately held manufacturer of fiberglass storage tanks and custom fiberglass products, founded on May 1, 1972 in Amarillo, Texas by Jim Seitz, who continues to serve as President and CEO. The company began with 10 employees producing three basic tank sizes for saltwater storage in the petroleum industry and has since expanded into a multi-vertical portfolio spanning agriculture, petroleum/oil and gas, environmental/chemical, wind energy, and custom fabrication. UFI serves customers from the Texas Panhandle and across the United States through direct sales, custom quoting, and an in-house delivery fleet equipped with crane trucks.

The company's product line is built around two core manufacturing methods: hand-lay-up construction (ASTM D 4097) and filament winding (ASTM D 3299), both executed at its Amarillo, Texas facility. Core offerings include agricultural stock tanks ranging from 190 to 7,340 gallons with anti-slip bottoms, potable water storage tanks (FDA-USDA approved) from 1,250 to 17,000 gallons, petroleum/oil and gas tanks from 55 to 500 BBL meeting API 12-P standards, environmental and chemical tanks with dual-wall containment suitable for burial, wind energy components (nose cones and blade repair), and custom fiberglass fabrications such as deer blinds, fan blades, fuel tanks, and grating. All tanks carry a 20+ year virtually maintenance-free lifespan and a one-year warranty.

UFI operates a direct-to-customer sales model with quote-based pricing (valid for 15 days), COD or pre-paid terms by default with credit available on approval, and FOB shipping point terms. The company delivers and installs tanks using its own fleet of crane trucks and trailers, with three hours of crane time included in the delivery charge and a $150/hour rate thereafter. Revenue is generated through one-time tank sales, custom fabrication projects, on-site repair services, repair kit sales, and tank fittings/accessories. Distribution is direct-only with no third-party resellers, and marketing is conducted through the company website, email newsletter, toll-free phone sales, and on-site delivery crew interactions.
