What Tankla Abi OÜ does

Tankla Abi OÜ is an Estonian private limited company (OÜ) founded in 2006 and headquartered at Tähe 129c, Tartu, with additional engineering coverage in Tallinn. The company sells, installs, and maintains fuel station equipment, storage tanks, and related components for private and departmental customers across Estonia, including the islands. Its portfolio centers on double-skinned steel tanks (underground and aboveground, horizontal and vertical, 5-100 m³) compliant with EN12285-1, EN12285-2, and DIN6618, supplied by CGH, paired with fuel dispensers from Tokheim, Dover Fueling Solutions, and Piusi, and complemented by composite covers, hose fittings, sealants, LPG piping, and illuminated signage from a broader European vendor bench. The company does not develop proprietary hardware technology; rather, it acts as a distributor and integrator, bundling equipment with construction, renovation, and ongoing maintenance services.

The business operates three revenue streams: one-time equipment sales, installation and construction services for new or renovated petrol stations, and recurring maintenance and repair services including certified tank cleaning. Pricing is quote-based, negotiated against a price list, with no publicly disclosed pricing or subscription model. Customer segments span vehicle and equipment fleets, bus fleets, road construction, quarries, ports, agricultural enterprises, and industrial centers, with notable activity in 2023 building six new port fuel stations. Recent service extensions include LPG auto gas full solutions, electric generator tank and pumping systems, and electric vehicle charger maintenance, suggesting a gradual broadening of the energy infrastructure surface area served. The company is independently owned and managed by Andrei Smirnov with a team of 11-50 employees, holds regulatory competencies for tank cleaning, gas works, and pressure equipment operations, and is the only firm of its kind providing national coverage across Estonia.

Broad incumbents

• Piusi: Italian manufacturer of fuel pumps, dispensers, and fluid-handling equipment. A Tankla Abi partner that competes in the same fuel-handling and dispensing categories at a much larger global scale.
• Tokheim: Long-established European fuel-dispenser manufacturer and Tankla Abi core brand partner. Operates its own service network, making it both a supplier and an incumbent competitor in the broader fuel-station equipment space.
• Husky Corporation: North American manufacturer of fuel nozzles, fittings, and forecourt equipment. Listed as a Tankla Abi partner; competes as a global incumbent in the fuel-station component category.
• Franklin Fueling Systems: Major US/global manufacturer of fuel dispensers, management systems, and service equipment. Already a Tankla Abi partner; competes as a much larger incumbent offering the same fuel-station equipment categories Tankla Abi distributes.
• Dover Fueling Solutions: Global fuel-dispenser and forecourt-systems manufacturer (Wayne, Tokheim, OPW). A core Tankla Abi supplier that also sells directly, competing at the broader fuel-equipment category level.

Regional players

• Alexela: Estonian fuel retailer and LPG station operator. Regional market participant with adjacent fueling-infrastructure footprint; competes in the Estonian end-market but as an operator, not an equipment distributor.
• Elenger: Estonian energy and gas company operating CNG/LPG refueling and gas sales. A regional Estonian counterpart that buys/installs similar fueling equipment but competes as an operator rather than equipment distributor.

Others

• CGH (CGH Nordic / CGH Polska): European manufacturer of EN12285-1/2 double-skinned underground and aboveground steel tanks. A core Tankla Abi supplier — adjacent enabling partner rather than direct competitor in distribution.

Direct peers

• TSG Solutions: Europe's largest independent fuel-station equipment, installation, and service provider. TSG is a near-identical but vastly larger version of Tankla Abi's model — selling, installing, and maintaining fuel station equipment for retail and commercial customers across multiple European geographies.
• Petromirazh: Russian/CIS fuel-station equipment manufacturer and supplier offering tanks, dispensers, and complete station solutions. Comparable business model: distributes fuel-station equipment and serves commercial/civil customers in a regional market.
