Not many companies strive for certification as prestigious as ours, but SBS Tanks® has gone above and beyond in achieving this. Congratulations to your team and we look forward to a good partnership in the future”.

Managing Director of SBS Tanks®, Delayne Gray, said at the handover that this certification gives SBS Tanks® the competitive edge in gaining confidence in its products as the company continues to strive to improve its performance.
