In mid-2016 Dutch firm Flaxfield Tank Container Solutions ( FFTCS ) and China ’ s Jiangxi Oxygen
Plant Co ( JOPM ) began a co-operation which sees FFTCS providing its European engineering , sales and marketing expertise , ( after ) sales service and JOPM providing Chinese manufacturing capability in the field of carbon steel and cryogenic gas tank containers . “ From Flaxfield ’ s perspective our clients have welcomed the expansion of the product portfolio ,” comments Flaxfield . “ With JOPM as our partner we can offer a wider range of tank containers : carbon steel and gas tank containers with JOPM , above the T1-T23 stainless steel tank containers and lightweight swap body composite tank containers already in the portfolio .” Clients appreciate the fact that lines of communication have been simplified with an enquiry for three different products being made possible through the same point of contact . Flaxfield ’ s wealth of experience in the international tank container business enables a bespoke solution with the further advantage of being located in a European time zone . Close interaction and regular factory visits have helped further develop the modern manufacturing site
which incorporates a large degree of automation and the latest production techniques . The focus is primarily on T50 and T75 gas tanks and carbon steel T13 , T14 and T19 tank containers . However JOPM offers a wide range of additional products , such as tank trucks , storage tanks , air separation equipment and LNG filling and storage stations . The T50 and T75 tanks are available in both 20ft . and 40ft configurations with a whole host of options for customisation being possible . With the expiry of the patent on the use of alternative materials for the production of lighter weight T50 type tanks , JOPM provides an alternative source for customers wishing to procure this type of tank . Both companies communicated the co-operation for the first time publicly by exhibiting together during the transport logistic exhibition in Munich earlier this year . “ It has been a good kick off and positive reactions have been received . In the meantime , the first tanks have been produced and the quantities have exceeded our expectations ,” concludes Flaxfield . www . flaxfield . nl

The focus of the Flaxfield / JOPM co-operation is primarily on T50 and T75 gas tanks
