VPC Global Expands National Tank Manufacturing Operations

Valencia Pipe Company (VPC Global) is expanding operations to become a national supplier of rotomolded polyethylene septic and water tanks across the United States.

VPC began producing rotomolded septic and water tanks in Miami, Oklahoma in April 2024 to serve the Midwest, following acquisition of the facility in September 2023. A second facility near Reno, Nevada has been brought online to serve Western states, with a third facility underway in the Northeast. VPC is now positioned to produce rotomolded tanks for the entire US market.

The expansion comes just over a year after the sale of pipe manufacturing facilities in Washington and Arizona to Aliaxis. VPC's extensive experience in plastic manufacturing continues to drive strategic growth.

"VPC has always believed that customers deserve a choice of products," said Andrew Dervin, CEO of VPC and a 40-year veteran of the industry. "We identified a market which could be better served by VPC and invested heavily in production capacity to offer a high-quality product at a competitive price. We're very excited about this phase in our expansion."

VPC's approach centers on customer service, meticulous product design, and industry expertise.

"We sourced the latest manufacturing technologies in rotomolding production and brought in industry experts at every stage of the design process to guarantee quality," Dervin said. "Our products are certified to the highest standards with national certification bodies."

Septic and water tanks face regulatory oversight from state and local environmental and public health agencies in the US. The resulting patchwork of regulations can make it difficult to bring new products to market.

"VPC worked closely with state and local governments to ensure that our products were compliant with all applicable rules and regulations," said Christopher Butler, vice president of manufacturing and distribution. VPC's products are featured on states' lists of approved products.

With projected increases in US home-building outside urban centers, demand for VPC's product line is expected to grow. The current product mix includes the most utilized tanks in the industry: 500-gallon to 1,500-gallon septic tanks, 600-gallon to 1,700-gallon cisterns, and 550-gallon to 5,000-gallon water tanks. VPC has expanded offerings to include multi-use tanks and chemical tanks.

The strategic placement of manufacturing facilities minimizes transportation costs, bringing a new option to the national market.
