What Team Poly does

Team Poly Tanks Pty Ltd is an Australian manufacturer of polyethylene water storage tanks, founded in 1990 and headquartered at a rotomoulding facility in Lonsdale, South Australia. The company produces a broad portfolio that includes round tanks (up to 50,050L), slimline and underdeck tanks, the Boabab™ FEA-engineered range, the Li-Lo patented German underground tank, and a custom industrial line certified to AS-4766:2006 for chemical, water treatment, mining, and liquid fertiliser storage. All tanks are manufactured as one-piece seamless units from UV-stabilised food-grade polyethylene, backed by 10- to 25-year warranties, and the industrial team draws on more than 100 years of combined fabrication experience.

The company sells direct to end customers by phone and website, through an independent sales agent programme, and via affiliated brands within the NPI Group — Clark Tanks, National Poly, Tanks Direct, Clark Industrial, Polycraft, and Australian Water Systems — which collectively extend coverage across QLD, NSW, VIC, ACT, and SA. Complementary offerings include Davey and ClayTech pumps, the RainBank® mains/rainwater switching system, GRAF KLARO septic systems, and Roswell Ag cattle feeders, positioning Team Poly as a one-stop rural water and farm solutions provider. Free delivery within 400km of Lonsdale, ISO 9001:2008 certification, BASIX certification, and compliance with Australian Standards underpin its positioning with residential, rural, builder, plumber, and industrial customers.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time unit sales of manufactured tanks priced per quote, augmented by accessories, custom industrial design and fabrication services, and commissions earned through the sales agent network. Pricing is opaque (no public list), with delivery charges tiered beyond the 400km free zone. The company is privately held with no external funding events, M&A activity, or leadership changes disclosed in the source material.

Direct peers

• Clark Tanks: Sister brand within the NPI Group, manufacturing and distributing poly water tanks across Queensland, NSW, and Victoria. Directly comparable product range (round, slimline, underground) and overlapping customer segments make it the closest operational peer.
• National Poly Industries: NPI Group affiliate covering south-east Queensland, NSW, and ACT with a similar polyethylene tank portfolio. Same rotomoulding technology, same target customers, and shared distribution logic via the parent group.
• Tanks Direct: NPI Group affiliate focused on central and northern Queensland. Directly comparable poly water tank offering with regional delivery specialisation and shared group brand equity.
• Polycraft: NPI Group affiliate manufacturing rotationally moulded polyethylene products including water tanks. Operates with the same manufacturing process, materials, and customer segments as Team Poly under the group's umbrella.
• Clark Industrial: NPI Group affiliate focused on industrial-grade poly tank solutions including chemical storage and custom rotomoulded products. Closest peer for Team Poly's industrial tank segment given overlapping compliance and SG1–SG2 specifications.
• Bushman's Tanks: One of Australia's largest independent polyethylene rainwater tank manufacturers with a national footprint. Directly comparable product range and customer base, and a frequent competitor in residential and rural rainwater storage.
• Rapid Plas: Australian polyethylene product manufacturer producing water tanks, cartage tanks, and livestock troughs via rotomoulding. Comparable product categories and rural/agricultural customer segments, though with a slightly broader farm-product focus.

Broad incumbents

• Kingspan Water & Energy: Global building envelope and water storage player with significant Australian operations offering steel and poly rainwater tanks. Larger portfolio and deeper resources, but overlapping customer base in residential and commercial rainwater harvesting.
• Pioneer Water Tanks: Australian manufacturer of large-capacity steel bolted rainwater tanks serving rural, commercial, and fire-protection markets. Competes with Team Poly for large-format rural and commercial storage but with a different material (steel vs poly) and a higher price/performance tier.

Regional players

• JoJo Tanks: South African-headquartered polyethylene tank manufacturer with a presence in several African and adjacent markets. Comparable rotomoulded poly tank product range and use cases (rainwater, chemical storage, rural), but not a direct competitor in Australia given its primary geography.
