General Industries, Inc. For nearly 70 years, General Industries, Inc. has been a leader in custom steel storage tanks for industries like petroleum, chemical, and water management.

We deliver quality, reliability, and tailored solutions to keep your operations running smoothly. Company History

Founded by Robert L. Wiggins in 1954, General Industries began with one manufacturing plant that served North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia areas with heating oil tanks. In 1978, the founder’s son, John (Tommy) Wiggins was named president following his father’s death. He has grown the business into one of the leading tank manufacturers in the industry. As a licensed manufacturer of the Steel Tank Institute and a Petroleum Institute member, General Industries specializes in custom stainless and carbon steel tank fabrications from 50 gallons to 75,000 gallons. We are labeled and listed for above ground and underground tanks per UL, STI, API, and ASME. General Industries works with companies in the petroleum, chemical, water, and waste water industries. As a certified ISO 9001 Quality System company, maintaining the highest standards to produce quality products for customers is our number one goal.

Every project has a story, and sometimes it starts with a delivery. 🚛

Recently, our tanks were offloaded in Sumter, SC, as part of a plant replacement project. It's another example of the important work that happens behind the scenes to keep industrial facilities moving forward.

At General Industries, we're proud to support projects like these with engineered tank solutions built around the needs of each application.

From delivery to installation, every step plays a role in keeping critical operations running.

Another tank from fabrication to finish! 👏

This 19,000-gallon vertical hopper tank on legs recently wrapped up fabrication at General Industries before heading to the coating shop.

From raw fabricated steel to the coated tank, every stage of the process plays an important role in delivering a finished product built for the job.

Great work by everyone involved in bringing this project together!

Another tank on the road! 🚛

This 5,000-gallon ACT-100 double-wall underground storage tank is headed to a customer in Virginia.

Every delivery represents more than a finished tank leaving our facility. It represents a customer trusting General Industries to provide the quality, durability and dependable storage solution their operation needs.

Built in the USA under our ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System, our ACT-100 tanks are designed for long-term underground storage of flammable and combustible liquids — and backed by a 30-year Steel Tank Institute third-party warranty.

From our facility to job sites across the country, we’re proud to help keep our customers’ projects moving.

Safe travels to Virginia!
