Balmoral Tanks, a globally recognised leader in the production of digester tanks for anaerobic digestion plants, is set to expand its footprint into the United States with the launch of a new operations facility in Northeast Ohio. Scheduled to open in summer 2025, the site will exclusively manufacture epoxy-coated steel tanks under the company’s proprietary efusion® brand.
This expansion marks the company’s official entry into the US market, where it sees significant growth potential. The Ohio facility will initially employ around 20 team members and represents a strategic investment of approximately $2 million—part of Balmoral’s ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence, which has seen a total of $30 million invested in its Tanks business since 2018.
“Allan Joyce, president of Balmoral Tanks LLC, stated: “Over the past 45 years, Balmoral Tanks has built a strong reputation for quality, efficiency and outstanding customer service. We’re excited to bring that same commitment to our U.S. operations, where we will design, manufacture and install digester tanks tailored to local market needs.”
The new Ohio facility will be Balmoral’s third global manufacturing site, joining existing locations in England and Wales. With some of the most advanced tank production technologies in the industry, the company is well-positioned to meet the rising demand for biogas infrastructure across North America.
“Our ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ tanks will deliver the same high-quality, durable and cost-effective performance that our customers have trusted for decades,” added Joyce.
Paul Tattershall, general manager of Balmoral Tanks’ US operations, highlighted the practical benefits of domestic production: “Manufacturing our tanks in America will not only strengthen our relationships with US clients but also reduce logistics costs and lead times, while mitigating transportation risks. This is particularly important as the U.S. biogas sector continues to expand.”
Anaerobic digestion is a sustainable process that converts organic waste—such as food and agricultural by-products—into biogas, using sealed oxygen-free tanks known as digesters. Balmoral Tanks offers what is considered the industry’s most comprehensive range of tank solutions from a single source, supporting energy resilience and carbon reduction goals.
Among its high-profile projects, Balmoral recently supplied two 11,500m³ digester tanks – among the largest in the world—for an advanced AD facility in Michigan. Each of these digesters is expected to produce two megawatts of energy, enough to power millions of US homes for a month.
With its expansion into Ohio, Balmoral Tanks is reinforcing its role as a critical partner in advancing renewable energy infrastructure across the United States.
