A Journey Through Time: Milestones of Success

A Journey Through Time: Milestones of Success

The Oiltanking story began in 1972 with the merger of originally independent tank farms into a single unit with a total capacity of around 1 million cubic meters under its ownership/control. At the time, nobody imagined that we would develop into one of the world's largest independent partners for the storage of chemicals, gases, and oil.
