Krampitz Tanksystem GmbH

What Krampitz Tanksystem GmbH does

Krampitz Tanksystem GmbH is a German, family-owned manufacturer (GmbH) of steel tank systems, storage tanks, transport tanks, and modular tank containers used for the storage and dispensing of fuels and water-hazardous liquids. The company is led by Managing Director Silke Krampitz and operates from a headquarters in Dahlenburg, a sales office in Salzwedel, and a manufacturing plant in Henningen, with a stated installed base of more than 45,000 units across all continents and approximately 35 years of operating history (founded circa 1989).

The product architecture is built around a patented cubic container design and a modular ISO/CSC-compliant chassis that supports stackability up to eight units high and international multimodal transport. Core product families include BASIS® day and storage tanks (single- and double-walled, volumes 50–100,000 liters), MINOTAUR® tank containers (including flat belly tanks, ISO-frame containers, and integrated machine-room variants), CENTAUR® transport tanks, and the KC modular tank-station container system (KCC/KCM/KCU bases plus KC-P/KC-DM/KC-O/S/KC-MA/KC-ST add-on modules). All products carry double-walled construction with vacuum leak monitoring and are offered with climate packages (Tropic, Arctic, Desert, Offshore, Standard) plus earthquake- and flood-resistant variants, supported by a suite of DIBt approvals (Z-38.12-312, Z-38.12-23, Z-38.11-127, Z-38.11-86) and CSC certification.

Revenue is generated through direct hardware sales of tanks, containers, and ancillary equipment (pumps, sensors, safety features), plus custom/special manufacturing for customer-specific CAD designs. The go-to-market combines factory-direct sales via a customer-advisor team in Germany with a global network of trained service and equipment partners for distribution, installation, and after-sales service. End customers span mining, oil and gas, military, construction, logistics, maritime and aviation (marina bunkering, helicopter refueling), and humanitarian aid organizations, with the company explicitly seeking additional channel coverage in Africa, Latin America, Australia, and Asia.
