Quality is more than just a word at Peabody Engineering; it is part of our value system. And that value isn’t just driven by how many hours we put into the design, cost, testing, and delivery of a finished product. Quality is what a product does for our customers—from distribution partners to end-users. If the product or service doesn’t perform to customers’ expectations, then nothing else matters.

Peabody’s standards set the bar high in the industrial storage tanks and telecom concealment markets because we deliver on five precise components of quality to ensure customer satisfaction, from prototype to final product.

In-House Operations

Peabody Engineering keeps much of its design and production process in-house, as opposed to outsourcing. This gives us more control over our inputs as well as our ability to deliver the final product sooner and reduce costs. We design and produce our own line of tanks and perform our own tooling and rotational plastic molding internally to ensure quality at every step of the manufacturing process.

Strategic Focus

Quality and experience go hand-in-hand. For more than 60 years, Peabody Engineering has known who we are. With our roots in commercial tanks and concealment products, our focus is intentional, so we can deliver quality, reliable and sustainable solutions to our customers. As storage tank industry experts, we stay ahead of technology and wisely invest in our manufacturing capabilities, with a focus of developing intuitive new products consistently.     

Durable Materials

Quality products start with the most durable and long-lasting materials. Peabody uses the industry’s most premium lines of fiberglass reinforced polymers (FRP) and top of the market chemically resistant polyethylenes. From our rugged, corrosion-resistant polyethylene potable water tanks, to our high-density linear polyethylene bulk chemical storage tanks, to our heavy-duty engineered chemical tanks systems that are virtually unaffected by ultra-violet rays and other environmental conditions, all of Peabody’s storage tanks are strong, engineering-level tolerances and highly reliable for your most demanding applications.

Intuitive Tank Designs

Communication is key in Peabody’s design process. The good quality design comes from listening to and understanding the end user’s expectations in order to provide them with the most intuitive product for a seamless installation and user experience.

Certifications

As Industrial Plastic Tank manufacturing leaders, Peabody Engineering works hard to stay ahead of the demands of the industry, including being certified to meet quality and purity standards. We have recently secured an upgraded certification for ANSI/NSF-61 compliance in The United States and Canada through ALS Global/Truesdail Laboratories which makes all of our tanks compliant in most municipalities across the continent.

Success and longevity for any business doesn’t happen by accident. They focus on what matters most: their values, their customers, and how their product or service makes a difference to the industries they serve.

Here are four reasons why Peabody Engineering is a leader in commercial storage tank and concealment solutions:    

Experts
With decades as commercial tank specialists, Peabody has a long history of delivering quality, durable, reliable, and sustainable products to the agriculture industry and beyond.  

In 1952, Richard “Dick” Peabody started as a one-man small business selling agricultural fertilizer equipment in California, Arizona, Washington, Oregon and Idaho. He quickly earned a reputation as an expert in Anhydrous ammonia and saw his business grow, manufacturing his own line of valves, pumps, compressors, hose lines, nurse wagons, and bulk storage containers for Anhydrous ammonia, solidifying his standing as best in the business.  

Family-owned
Now in its second generation of family leadership, Peabody Engineering embodies the knowledge, trust and innovation that are synonymous with family-owned businesses.  

Mark and Larry Peabody grew up in their dad’s business, helping build products during their summer vacations. After graduating from college, both sons went to work full time in the family business. Mark and Larry made a great team from the start, proving they had the imagination and innovation to carry on their dad’s vision after he retired in 1982.

Forward-thinking
Larry and Mark had the know-how to balance tradition with changing markets. In 1977, before Dick retried, Larry saw a future in plastics and convinced his dad to start promoting a new concept of liquid storage—rotational molded plastic tanks, along with plastic valves, fittings, and pumps. They quickly found success in wholesale distribution of industrial plastic products in both the agricultural and industrial chemical markets.    

Resilient
One of the advantages a family-owned business has is the trail of knowledge and history when it comes to economic cycles. They’re also more practical when it comes to debt, focusing on spending less and making sensible investments.  

In 1982, the agriculture market downturn caused by the earlier recession greatly affected the sales of Peabody’s fertilizer equipment. In addition, their paint division was shaken. Once again, in 2008, they endured the financial recession. But perseverance and faith saw them through all these challenges and brought them new markets and opportunities. They were able to:

• Design and produce their own line of tanks to meet higher demands of engineered applications.
• Invest in tooling for a new product—a dual containment tank that would guard against chemical contamination from a leaking tank.
• Invest in their own rotational plastic molding machinery and brought their manufacturing in-house.
• Purchase state-of-the-art plastic molding machines, increasing their ability to mold tanks up to 1500 gallons.
• Design a new seismic restraint system for tanks using fiberglass fabrication.
• Established a telecom division fabricating fiberglass panels to conceal cell towers from public view.

Four decades later, Peabody Engineering has not only maintained the solid reputation their dad earned in the ’50s, but continues to strengthen the company’s standing by building an international distribution network for quality manufactured plastic storage tanks, custom cell site concealment systems, and fiberglass structures.
