Peabody Engineering is excited to announce we are expanding to a new location on the East Coast in Liberty, South Carolina!!! We are building from the ground up, a new manufacturing plant that is expected to be completed by winter 2021.

“After a five-year search for our new East Coast manufacturing location, we have settled on Pickens County in the beautiful state of South Carolina. We chose this location not only for the strong labor force, but also because Pickens County and South Carolina both understand that manufacturing is the backbone of our nation’s economy, and their focus is clearly on helping companies like ours succeed.” -Peabody Engineering CEO Mark Peabody

“We welcome Peabody Engineering to South Carolina’s business community and celebrate the company’s decision to invest $5.6 million and create 35 new jobs in Pickens County. It’s always a great day for the Palmetto State when we announce job-creating investments such as this one.” -Gov. Henry McMaster

Christmas 2020 – We Hope You Enjoy This Years Christmas Letter.

Our office will be closed on Dec 24th, 25th, 30th and 31st, 2020

Tis the Season! The season for reflecting upon the past year, setting goals for the year ahead and making resolutions for positive changes in our lives to improve. This year is like no other. Lots of unprecedented events and many new challenges that we have all been forced to adjust to. My dad always told me that adversity builds character, growth and makes you stronger. I can say without reservation that we all should have a much better character and be much stronger after what we have been through this year.

We can commiserate about how bad things were or we can search for lessons in our experiences and build upon those lessons to make our future better. I’ve never been one to dwell on the past or worry about tomorrow. I’ve always focused on what I can do today, now, to make the future better, try not to make the same mistakes and focus on being the best “Me” that I can be.

So, after reflecting upon the year behind us, we must ask what we want to achieve in the year ahead. Please read the full Peabody Engineering Christmas newsletter by clicking here. It is in PDF format (1.8mb)

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.

Thanksgiving 2019 – We Hope You Enjoy This Years Thanksgiving Letter.

Our office will be closed on Nov 28th and 29th, 2019.

Well, it’s that time of year again. Valentine’s Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Summer Vacation, Labor Day and Halloween are all in the rearview mirror and all that’s left of 2019 is Thanksgiving and Christmas. Arguably, the best time of the year for joy, gratitude, reflection and renewal, time with family and loved ones and plenty of yumminess to consume and imbibe.

Boxes of decorations are coming out of the storage sheds and garage rafters and homes across America are being magically transformed into amazing wonderlands of seasonal décor as moms and dads are eating the last of the fun sized Snickers bars and Butterfingers in the bottom of those old pillowcases that were overflowing with treats a few short weeks ago.

Every Year, I reflect upon what Thanksgiving in America is all about. Why we celebrate it, try to impart a little historical relevance to it and hopefully impart a perspective lost in our current culture of negativity and the vilifying of those who risked it all and sacrificed their lives to toil, hardship and overwhelming adversity to establish what has become the greatest, most benevolent, charitable and accomplished civilization in the history of the world.

Stepping back in time for a quick flyover, you will see that throughout the epochs of recorded history, there has been an underlying theme of oppression, subjugation, genocide and misery for most of the people who ever lived, UNTIL America Became a Country. If we go back as far as the Phonecians, we remember they conquered a region which is today Syria, Lebanon and Northern Israel. They are credited with developing the alphabet (phonics anyone?), shipbuilding, glass making and the production of dyes and luxury goods. Seems like some pretty amazing people. They worshipped Yamm, the god of the sea and brother of Mot, the God of Death. This is where Baal worship began and the Evil Queen Jezzebel once ruled. Part of their worship involved sacrificing human children by casting them alive into a fire. Okay, maybe they weren’t so wonderful after all.
