Drew Williamson, CPA, MBA, Greatario President
As the CEO of Greatario, I am proud to share the remarkable journey and accomplishments of our company. We’ve worked with many talented engineers and contractors on some of the largest water infrastructure projects across Canada. These partnerships help strengthen our position as one of the leading bolted tank builders in Canada and drive our commitment to build the very best.
Since 1986, we have specialized in building glass-fused-to-steel, bolted water storage tanks for municipalities across Canada. Our employees are committed to providing the very best solution, experience and after-sale service for our customers. Additionally, our safety standards, including COR certification, underscores our dedication to maintaining the highest safety protocols in all our projects.
What types of products does Greatario offer, and how do they cater to different customer needs?
Greatario has always built low-maintenance, long-lasting glass-fused-to-steel liquid storage tanks. GFS tanks offer the most reliable solution for municipalities water or wastewater storage needs. Over their lifespan, GFS tanks cost less than other types of tanks. Their modular design allows rapid construction – a big help as growing communities require more water storage to meet housing demands. We also offer factory epoxy coated tanks, GRP tanks, aluminum covers and a line of water quality products from IXOM.
Can you tell us about the growth of Greatario?
Greatario has been building tanks in Canada for nearly 4 decades. We started out with a small build crew and a single salesman. Today we have multiple regionally based construction crews and team leads, project managers and sales managers. Our team members contribute a fresh perspective and innovative approach that drives us forward while preserving our core values. These local teams ensure each project is completed on time and according to plan. Being able to say we’ve built 800 tanks across Canada is a testament to this our employees’ dedication and expertise. This achievement underscores our ability to meet the growing demand for water storage tanks, ensuring municipalities have reliable storage solutions. We are proud of the bonds we have with local municipalities across the country and respect the trust they have in us.
Greatario recently announced their partnership with Balmoral Tanks – can you tell us more about that partnership?
Our partnership with Balmoral Tanks was driven by our ongoing commitment to build the very best tanks and to continue providing the very best customer service. Balmoral’s expertise and innovative solutions allow us to provide our customers with on-time service and delivery, high quality products and post-construction support. Balmoral has developed a wide range of tank products, helping us meet the growing needs of our customers more effectively. They also happen to be a great team to work with!
How does Greatario ensure ongoing service and maintenance for its tanks, and what role does the Asset Management Program play in this?
At Greatario, our commitment to customer satisfaction extends beyond the initial build. We offer comprehensive service and maintenance for all tank types and our after-sales service is the best in the business. We can help municipalities create a comprehensive Asset Management Program. An AMP helps communities plan for and budget for maintenance. GFS tanks do offer the longest lifespan of any tank type, and following a predictive maintenance schedule will ensure the tank performs optimally throughout that lifetime. Our service team can also perform professional inspections that include detailed findings reports.
Greatario has grown and evolved over the past 40 years, striving for excellence and innovation. As we look to the future, we stand by our promise to provide the best tank solutions, backed by unparalleled service and a commitment to quality. As we say, Let’s Build Something GREAT!
