Heartland Tank Services

What Heartland Tank Services does

Heartland Tank Services, Inc. is a privately-held industrial services company headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, that specializes in above-ground liquid storage solutions for agribusiness retailers. Founded in 2007 alongside its sister fabrication entity Heartland Tank, LLC (which operates a fabrication facility in Ponca City, Oklahoma), the company delivers three core offerings: field-erected API-650 compliant steel storage tanks ranging from 100,000 to 4 million gallons; custom internal flexible PVC tank liners designed for primary and secondary containment of liquid fertilizers; and certified API-653 tank inspections covering visual, ultrasonic thickness, and settlement surveys. The technical platform relies on proprietary fabrication equipment, including Super Hornet precision plasma CNC cutting systems and a proprietary double-sided girth welder, combined with 100% domestically sourced American steel and virgin PVC materials.

The business operates a direct enterprise field-sales model with regional sales project managers covering eastern and western U.S. territories, targeting agribusiness retailers nationwide. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time tank construction projects supplemented by recurring professional services: API-653 inspections, liner fabrication and installation, tank repair and modification, cleaning, coating, and heated/insulated tank systems. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts common for inspection cycles. Strategic alliances extend the offering — Total Fertilizer Construction provides design-build project management, and W Design Associates serves as preferred engineering partner.

In December 2022, founder Chris Brooks retired and Salvador Villagran (formerly General Manager since 2012) became President and CEO, while headquarters moved from Greenwood Village, Colorado to Oklahoma City to align with the existing Ponca City fabrication footprint. Customer evidence is led by United Prairie LLC, a 14-location agribusiness in east-central Illinois that has worked with the company for over 20 years, illustrating the long-tenured, recurring-revenue nature of the customer base.
