History

Hoosier Tank Building

With over 30 years experience in the industry, Tom Kinnucan and Bill Welsch incorporated Hoosier Tank & Manufacturing on May 2, 1991. The new owners started from scratch and in July began purchasing equipment. In October, they hired their first two full-time employees — one of whom still works for the company today.

In 2004, the company’s owners oversaw the plant’s relocation from a 33,000 square foot facility to a new plant almost three times the original size. With the new 80,000 square foot building, additional production lines and continuous investment in new and updated equipment, Hoosier Tank has witnessed increased efficiency and further continued their growth.

Production has jumped from 397,000 units in 2002 to 548,050 in 2005 — an increase of 27.6%. And the Hoosier Tank family has grown from two in 1991 to nearly 75 today, many of whom have been with Hoosier Tank for five to ten years. The company continues to invest in capital equipment which will make Hoosier Tank even more efficient and productive in the future.
