Balmoral Tanks expands to US

Balmoral Tanks, a U.K.-based producer of digester tanks for anaerobic digestion (AD) plants, has expanded its production capabilities to the United States with the launch of its U.S. business and the opening of its operations facility in Mentor, Ohio, in summer 2025. This facility will exclusively supply epoxy-coated steel tanks under the Efusion brand, which is Balmoral Tanks’ proprietary in-house steel panel epoxy coating.

“Over the past 45 years, Balmoral Tanks has established a proven global track record of quality, efficiency and providing outstanding levels of customer service, which we look forward to continuing as we design, manufacture and install AD tanks for our U.S. customers,” says Allan Joyce, president at Balmoral Tanks LLC. “With the launch of our U.S. business and the opening of our operations facility in Ohio, we will employ approximately 20 team members as we grow our business in a market we see as having huge potential.”

The Ohio facility is Balmoral Tanks’ third operations facility, with additional locations in England and Wales. The company is investing around $2 million into the U.S. facility, making a total of $30 million invested in its tanks business since 2018.

“Our ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ Balmoral-built tanks will be the same high-quality, durable and cost-effective solutions that have been trusted by our domestic and international customers for over four decades and that they specifically request,” Joyce says.

“Producing our epoxy-coated steel tanks in America enables us to cultivate and enhance American customer relationships, reduce logistics costs and meet increasing demand as the U.S. biogas sector continues to grow,” says Paul Tattershall, general manager of Balmoral Tanks’ U.S. business. “For our U.S. customers, that means lower shipping costs, faster delivery and decreased risk of transportation delays.”

Balmoral Tanks recently supplied two 11,500-cubic-meter tanks for an AD project in Michigan, and it says each digester tank should generate 2 megawatts of power.
