Xerxes® Corporation

From our first days as a brand, our expert engineers and sales teams responded to a market challenge: providing customers with products that would reliably and securely store liquids underground. In the 1970s, an urgent market need became clear. For decades, steel tanks had been used for underground storage of fuel, and all over North America corroding steel tanks were leaking fuel into the ground and groundwater.  

Xerxes engineers were among the first to recognize that fiber-reinforced glass used in designs by marine and aeronautical engineers could be the answer. As in many applications, underground storage requires the security that only corrosion-resistant products offer. And because fiberglass is a material that is inherently corrosion-resistant, from both stored liquids and surrounding soils, it seemed the obvious solution.
