The History of Compass Tanks
Compass Tanks was established in October 1992. Bindon Burns and Michael Pfeiffer, both unemployed at the time, recognised a market demand for good quality, traditionally made rainwater tanks. They applied to the South Australian government for financial assistance but were rejected on the grounds that the business would not be viable due to strong competition.
Undeterred, they borrowed a meagre capital and with the assistance of Noel Lennard, a tank maker with over 40 years' experience, the first tank rolled out of the workshop on 1 November 1992. In their first 12 months, Compass Tanks produced approximately 250 galvanised tanks.
Compass Tanks is a wholly South Australian owned and operated company. Great pride is taken with the quality of workmanship and customer service is the highest priority. Tanks and garden beds are manufactured using only Australian steel, giving customers the peace of mind that they are purchasing a product which complies with Australian standards.
Compass Tanks' customers can be confident they are dealing with a company with over 19 years of experience and knowledge. Compass Tanks offers a free, no obligation quote service guaranteeing customers get the best tank size and style to suit their exact requirements.
