About us
A Short History
Tank Industries was started in 1986 by Trygve Hvidsten as a development Company for the Telecommunication Industry.
Engineers at Tank developed a unique Re-enterable Splice Closure for sealing of Telecommunication Cables.The TK Re-enterable Splice Closure allows for Fast Re-entry of Joints, without the need of any additional materials for closing and resealing, thus saving on material and labour cost.
Many variations of the original Closure have since been developed and the company now offers a full range of Closures for Copper and Optical Fibre Cables. These closures are now exported to 20 countries worldwide and approval has been granted by various Telephone Authorities.
The company expanded its product and markets to include the rapidly growing power and electronics industries both locally and abroad.
