Working with waste and environmental management companies across the UK and internationally, the firm designs bespoke, durable, low maintenance equipment used for a wide array of applications, in addition to providing repairs, maintenance and upgrade and refurbishment services.
Warwickshire-based VJ Engineering supplies non-hazardous and ADR tankers to a range of businesses. The company also provides, servicing, repairs, refurbishments and remounts, as well as a full inspection and certification offering.
Tom Earnshaw, Managing Director of Vallely Tankers, commented: "Joining forces with VJ Engineering marks a significant milestone for us and strongly aligns with our goals for ambitious growth. Their capabilities and experience as a specialist tanker manufacturer will provide a powerful bolster to our existing resources, strengthening our offering to customers.”
