Testimonial

All of our customers are very happy with our products as commented by Mr. Jim Schultze owner and winemaker of Windy Oaks Estate Winery in Corralitos, California.

"This is an extremely well made tank which exceeded my expectations. Good work!"

Brian Ulbrich owner of Left Foot Charley Winery in Traverse City, Michigan wrote:

"This purchase was a gamble that paid off. The welds are clean, the cooling jackets are very solid and the tanks seemed to be calibrated as designed. I have worked with four tank manufactures purchasing over 20,000 gallons of tanks; these are right at the top in terms of quality, price and the ease in purchasing. I will definitely buy from them in the future."

Our tanks are made with the highest quality materials manufactured in Europe. All the valves, fittings and man-ways are manufactured in Italy and Slovenia by Zorzini, Laveggi, Jaklic and SVS. All tanks are individually engineered to insure integrity. All seams and joints are TIG welded to insure perfect and smooth interior surfaces. Any protruding welds, both interior or exterior are ground smooth. There are no sharp corners to catch vegetative matter or residue, all ferrules and fittings have radius connections.

There are no limitations to tank volume, height, diameter, shape, size or location of ports, type, size or location of man-ways along with any other feature you may require.

If you don’t see something in our catalog or website that you need, just drop us a line and we will work with you and have the factory write you a proposal.

The cutting operation of the front panel is complete ready for edge forming and welding of the Zorzini man-way and ports.

After the tanks are fabricated the welds are ground and then checked for any pockets that might catch wine solids.
