About Metal Products USA – Tank Manufacturers Since 1941
A Legacy of American Manufacturing
Since 1941, Metal Products Company has been Building Trust through durable, American-made tanks. Our roots began in wartime America, and over the decades, we’ve grown into one of the nation’s most respected tank manufacturers, serving industries from petroleum and energy to agriculture, government, and beyond.
Our Journey Through the Decades
1941–1945
Founding and Early Years
Metal Products was founded in 1941 by Georgia Tech alumni C.E. Gammage and Robert Harris to fabricate ladders and doors for WWII Liberty Ships. These vessels, built at the rate of one per day, were vital in supplying England during the early war years.
1950s–1960s
Incorporation and Growth
By the 1950s, the company transitioned into a corporation and began supplying tanks to leading petroleum brands such as Standard Oil, Sinclair, Shell, Texaco, Gulf, and Phillips Petroleum.
1960s–1970s
Infrastructure Boom
As highways, airports, and shopping centers grew, so did our role—manufacturing 10,000-gallon skid tanks and 1,000-gallon wagon-mounted tanks with full pumping systems.
1977–1979
Relocation and Modernization
With the original Atlanta plant aging, we built a new, rail-served facility in Suwanee, GA, opening in 1978. The Atlanta plant officially closed in 1979.
1980s
Technological Advancements
By 1983, we were integrating advanced underground tank technologies. Our customers included major players like Amoco, QuikTrip, Racetrac, and Texaco (including Caribbean projects).
1990s–2000s
Ongoing Growth
We expanded our product line to include aboveground tanks, oil/water separators, and enhanced underground systems. The Suwanee plant grew five times to meet demand.
2021
80 Years of Service
We proudly celebrated our 80th anniversary, marking decades of innovation, regulatory compliance, and customer trust.
2023–Today
New Ownership
In May 2023, after three generations of Gammage family ownership, Metal Products was acquired by Ali Husain.

Today, our facilities are equipped with improved overhead cranes, highly trained staff, and streamlined production, enabling us to exceed customer expectations for quality and speed.
