Vijay Tanks FZC, a tenant at Hamriyah Free Zone, reports brisk business and is implementing contracts in the UAE and abroad.

Registered at HFZ in 2000, Vijay Tanks is a major player in the turnkey design, engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning of atmospheric storage tanks, cryogenic storage tanks, high-pressure spheres, vessels, and internal plant piping for the refinery, petrochemical, fertiliser, power, paper and steel industries. 
The company is currently working on three 60-m-dia tanks in Oman and has also recently completed some projects in the UAE.
It joined the free zone with one of its partners providing the technical assistance it gained during its 20 years of operation in the Middle East in storage tank solutions for various industries.  
Its parent company, Vijay Tanks Overseas Ltd (VTO), was established and registered in Guernsey, UK, in 1984 with the purpose of specialising as a designer and constructor of liquid storage solutions. Since its inception, it has been actively involved in the Middle East with its first client being the Ministry of Defence, Oman, which awarded it a contract worth approximately $6 million in 1985. From this high-profile start, the company has grown considerably in its capabilities with the management constantly evaluating new challenges.
In order to fortify its position in the Gulf market where credence was given to GCC-registered companies, VTO realised the need to register local companies in the countries it was active. This first resulted in the formation of Vijay Tanks & Company (Oman) followed by Vijay Tanks & Company Hamriyah Free Zone (UAE) and Vijay Tanks Contracting Company (Dubai).  Vijay Tanks Overseas Ltd retained all aspects of operational and decision management. Overall the company has undertaken projects in Oman, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq and Yemen.
The first major project for Vijay Tanks FZC came with the award of an EPC contract by National Oil Storage Company (Nosco). It involved the design, construction and commissioning of an oil terminal and bunkering facility located at HFZ.
Vijay Tanks FZC’s manufacturing facility is situated on a 15,000 sq m plot. The company has facilities for handling fabrication of all products in the company’s product range.
It has handled construction and supply of tanks for clients in the UAE, Qatar, Yemen and Oman and seeks technical and management assistance, when needed,  from its associate companies in Oman and Dubai.  The company is ISO 9001-2000 certified.
”Tank construction is our main activity and we take on contracts from our associate companies in UAE and Oman. We have skilled crew to handle the maintenance work on existing tanks for major oil companies in the Middle East,” a company spokesman says.
Its major customers are either oil and gas production companies, or power infrastructure companies, he says.
