Core offering

Viking Plastics is a specialist plastics fabricator that designs, manufactures and supplies grease traps, trade waste tanks, industrial tanks, aquaculture tanks, custom plastic fabricated products, and planter boxes. Products are fabricated using Paneltim plastic construction panels, polypropylene, polyethylene, HDPE, and PVC at facilities in Braeside, Victoria and Welshpool, Western Australia. The company serves commercial kitchens, plumbing merchants, industrial and mining facilities, and aquaculture operations across Australia with both standard product lines and bespoke custom fabrication.

Product overview

Viking Plastics is a specialist plastics fabricator offering a comprehensive portfolio of industrial and commercial plastic products, primarily serving the plumbing, industrial, aquaculture, and landscaping markets. The core offering centres on grease traps and trade waste tanks (the foundational business), supplemented by custom plastic fabrication services and a growing range of environmental products including stormwater management systems, planter boxes, and aquaculture tanks. Products are fabricated using various plastics including PVC, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE/HDPE), and the proprietary Paneltim construction panel system. Manufacturing is conducted in-house at facilities in Braeside, Victoria and Welshpool, Western Australia, with products supplied Australia-wide. The portfolio operates as a platform model where standard product lines (grease traps, trade waste tanks) serve as the core, with custom fabrication capabilities enabling bespoke solutions, and complementary product categories (garden/planter products, industrial tanks, chemical exhaust fans) extending the addressable market.

Products and services

• Grease Traps Holding tanks with internal baffles designed to slow the flow of warm/hot greasy wastewater from commercial kitchens and food preparation areas, allowing fats, oils, and grease to separate and float to the top while solids settle on the bottom.
• Trade Waste Tanks Comprehensive range of trade waste tanks including access covers, acid neutralising tanks, cooling and straining tanks, dental plaster traps, hair traps, lint traps, mixing tanks, mobile paint wash stations, paint collection tanks, petrol and oil interceptors, pump tanks, settling tanks, silt pits, silt traps, solvent and oil interceptors, and testing sumps.
• Custom Plastic Fabrication Bespoke plastic fabrication services for specialised applications including custom-designed products, site measurements for precise fit, and fabrication using materials such as PVC, polypropylene, polyethylene, and Paneltim construction panels. Products include bunds, dollies, header tanks, mega tanks, sheep dipping tanks, and wheelie bin wash bays.
• Industrial Tanks Large industrial plastic tanks ranging from 100 litres to over 150,000 litres, manufactured in square, rectangular, round, or specially shaped configurations for various industrial applications including chemical storage, galvanising, and electroplating.
• Aquaculture Tanks Paneltim aquaculture tanks designed for fish farming and aquaculture operations, offering superior durability, strength, and customisation options for broodstock holding and other aquaculture applications.
• Garden and Planter Products A range of garden and landscaping products including plastic planter boxes, planter box liners, planter box water tanks, hanging planter screens, rain gardens, regeneration zone tanks, HDPE pond liners, and wicking beds.
• Stormwater Detention Tanks Stormwater management tanks designed to temporarily store stormwater and release it at a controlled rate to prevent downstream flooding, minimise erosion, and protect public infrastructure.
• Chemical Exhaust Fans Chemical resistant fume exhaust fans and ventilation ducting and fittings for fume extraction, designed to handle corrosive and volatile fumes.
• Grease Raider Automatic Grease Trap An automatic grease trap that continuously skims and removes floating grease from wastewater, providing enhanced efficiency, reduced blockages, regulatory compliance, and improved health and hygiene for commercial kitchens.
• Paneltim Construction Panels An innovative 50mm thick dual skin sandwich panel with internal cross-rib cell structure, made from Polypropylene Copolymer or High Density Polyethylene, providing superior strength, chemical resistance, and structural stability without requiring external steel support frames.

Direct peers

• ACO Australia: Australian subsidiary of ACO Group, manufacturer of plastic grease traps, oil/water separators, and trade waste solutions for commercial kitchens. Directly competes with Viking Plastics in the same Australian grease-trap and trade-waste channel (plumbing merchants, hospitality customers).
• Thermaco: US-based manufacturer of automatic and passive grease traps and oil/water separators for commercial kitchens. Closest international comparable to Viking's Grease Raider automatic grease trap technology; serves the same food-service regulatory-compliance segment.
• Schier Products: US manufacturer of grease interceptors and trade waste products for food service. Comparable in product category (grease traps/interceptors) and commercial-kitchen end market to Viking Plastics.
• Marsh Industries: UK manufacturer of plastic tanks including grease traps, septic tanks, and rainwater harvesting systems. Direct comparable in product range (HDPE/PP fabricated plastic tanks, grease traps, trade-waste) and custom-fabrication model to Viking Plastics.
• WPL Limited: UK manufacturer of plastic tanks for wastewater, stormwater, and trade-waste applications including grease traps. Comparable in plastic-fabricated tank technology, regulatory-driven product range, and B2B specification-led sales to Viking Plastics.
• Snyder Industries: US manufacturer of polyethylene and polypropylene bulk storage and process tanks for industrial applications. Comparable in plastic-tank fabrication technology, custom sizes, and chemical-resistant industrial end markets to Viking's industrial tank line.

Broad incumbents

• Highland Tank: US manufacturer of steel and specialty tanks (including plastic-lined) for industrial, petroleum, and water/wastewater applications. Broader incumbent in the tank-fabrication space with overlap to Viking's industrial-tank segment but a wider portfolio and more established distribution.
• Naylor Drainage: UK manufacturer of clay and plastic drainage products, including plastic tanks and wastewater management solutions. Adjacent incumbent in the construction-specification drainage/plastic tank market with overlapping end users in infrastructure and trade waste.
• Reece: Australia's largest plumbing merchant/distributor and a channel partner that stocks Viking products (PMA member). Relevant peer given its dual role as Viking's distributor and as an aggregator that also sells competing grease trap and trade waste brands at scale.
• ACO Group: Global parent company of ACO Australia, offering a much broader portfolio of drainage, separation, and grease-trap products across commercial construction. Indirect competitor as a multinational incumbent with greater R&D and capital resources than Viking Plastics.
