OUR HISTORY
CONSISTENT PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY FOR OVER 50 YEARS
Bendel began manufacturing carbon steel tanks in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1963 under the name of Atlas Steel Products Company. Originally established to manufacture storage tanks and mobile truck tanks for the petroleum industry, we have continually updated, modernized and expanded our capabilities & facilities to produce a wide range of tanks, vessels and equipment to serve a broad range of industries.
In addition to our expertise in the design and fabrication Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel and Nickel Alloy Vessels, Reactors and Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers, Bendel excels in delivering economical solutions to our customer's most difficult challenges.
In 1982 our name was changed to Bendel Corporation when the manufacturing division was spun-off from the parent company. (Primary ownership has never changed hands.)
Over the years, we have continued to modernize our facilities with buildings, machinery, equipment, and expand our staff with exceptional engineering and fabrication talent.
In 2012, we updated our company name to Bendel Tank & Heat Exchanger. Storage Tank fabrication, pressure vessel fabrication and heat exchanger machining and fabrication are core expert services from Bendel Storage Tank & Heat Exchanger.
In 1983, a large modern new facility was built for the purpose of manufacturing custom stainless steel tanks. This move was highly successful, and in 1987, the manufacturing facility was expanded and additional office space for engineering and drafting was added.
In 1991, Bendel again enlarged its manufacturing facility in order to segregate the manufacture of custom carbon steel and stainless steel tanks. The engineering and office facilities were also expanded to accommodate our planned growth.
In 2015, Bendel celebrated its 50th Anniversary, and our offices were streamlined to provide more space for our growing staff.
In 2020, Bendel was acquired by TransTech, expanding our capabilities and geographical reach while maintaining the same quality and service you've come to know.
