Heritage Water Tanks

What Heritage Water Tanks does

Heritage Water Tanks is an Australian manufacturer of large steel rainwater tanks, headquartered and produced at a single facility in Perth, Western Australia (54 Collopy Rd, Perth Airport WA 6105). The company operates as part of Kingspan Water & Energy, inheriting 85+ years of group-level water tank manufacturing heritage. Its product portfolio consists of two core lines — the Corrugated Tank Range (CT models, 13 sizes from approximately 39,000 to 353,000 litres) and the Streamline Tank Range (HGT models, 10 sizes from approximately 54,000 to 287,000 litres) — plus an Urban Water Tanks (WA) sub-brand for the smaller-capacity urban segment. All tanks are built from BlueScope ZINCALUME® and COLORBOND® steel with hot-dipped galvanised roof trusses, magnesium sacrificial anodes, and an in-house fabricated multi-layer food-grade liner certified to AS/NZS 4020 for potable water storage. The patented Original Gutter System, in production for over ten years, differentiates the offering by diverting rainwater from the tank roof directly into storage, adding up to ~25,000L of annual collection in a 500mm rainfall zone.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time tank sales priced on a quote basis via the company website, with delivery and installation handled by a national network of third-party installers and agents. Secondary revenue comes from optional add-ons (gutter systems, vermin proofing, level gauges, fire fittings), a mandatory five-year service interval tied to a 20-year conditional warranty, and liner supply-and-install services for both Heritage and competitor tanks. Customer segments span rural and agricultural primary producers (primary), domestic households, commercial properties, mining sites, and government fire water applications. Marketing channels are predominantly the company website with an instant quote system, phone and email sales, seasonal promotions, and a dedicated grants page positioning the products within state-government drought and farm water rebate programs in SA, VIC, QLD, WA, and TAS.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led and domestically focused on Australia, with no disclosed international expansion, no external funding, and no public listing. Heritage Water Tanks is wholly owned within the Kingspan Group, leveraging parent-company procurement, brand equity, and operational scale while maintaining independent distributor relationships and WaterMark-certified product compliance for regulated applications.
