LINPAC Allibert, a global specialist in the manufacture and supply of plastic storage and transit containers, has supplied five bulk chemical storage tanks at Brenntag UK & Ireland’s new state-of-the-art facilities in Wales.
The company worked closely with Brenntag on the specification and installation of the tanks, which will provide on-site storage for hazardous chemicals at the new facility in Fforestfach, and replaces Brenntag’s previous site at Landore, in Swansea.
Brenntag UK & Ireland is the UK’s market leader in full-line chemical distribution. Its new 50,000 sq ft, purpose-built depot includes new warehousing, supporting increased storage areas for packed product, as well as bulk storage, dilution and packaging facilities. The warehouse also incorporates a dedicated area for food, pharmaceuticals and personal care ingredients.
Roger Andrews, Helix Sales Manager for LINPAC Allibert in the UK, said: “We have a long standing relationship with Brenntag and are their 'tanks partner' in the UK, making us ideally placed to come up with a safe, high quality, cost-effective solution that is in keeping with the advanced services and facilities available from this site.”
Gareth Dobinson, Capital Logistics Manager at Brenntag UK & Ireland, added: “We knew that LINPAC Alllibert had a long-established track record for supplying tanks for specialist applications like ours and they worked closely with us to ensure that supply and delivery met our precise needs and timescales.”

About LINPAC Allibert
LINPAC Allibert has been manufacturing superior quality helically wound plastic storage tanks for more than 40 years. These high density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) tanks are extruded in strip form in a unique process. Each wrap is overlaid on the previous one and fused together to form a seamless cylinder with distinctive bands on the outside and a smooth finish on the inside. The one-piece cylinder therefore has no vertical seams or welds, and is totally watertight.
Large helically wound plastic bulk storage tanks are manufactured individually to suit customer requirements. These tanks are already used to store more than 400 million litres of corrosive liquids – across many different industries and types of chemicals. These include: sodium hypochlorite, nitric acid, sulphuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, hydrochloric acid, aluminium sulphate, ferric chloride, ferric sulphate... not to mention water, detergents, dyes and bleaches, ciders, beers and wines.
As well as large tanks, the company also manufactures smaller mixing and process tanks and storage bunds using the same helical winding process.
LINPAC Allibert’s helix tanks and bunds are available in a wide range of capacities from 500 to 60,000 litres. They provide high levels of safety and conform to all relevant regulations – for total peace of mind.
