History
Tonawanda Tank Transport Services, Inc. was incorporated in 1978 to provide hazardous and industrial waste transportation services. In 1985, Thomas Napier acquired the company with the intention of growing the company by expanding the services offered by Tonawanda Tank with the goal to become a full service environmental company.
Mr. Napier created an extensive Less than Truckload (LTL) service most waste management companies. In addition to affordable transportation and disposal services, Tonawanda Tank began providing the necessary shipping documents and drum labels long before this was a standard practice among waste companies. Shipping reports were also made available to aid in regulatory reporting.
In 1995, Tonawanda Tank evolved into four companies to form the Tonawanda Group of Companies. Tonawanda Tank would continue to function as the operation sand logistics company. Tonawanda Environmental Corporation (TEC) was formed to provide sales, service and environmental expertise to our clients and better portray the full service environmental company image of the organization. Tonawanda Leasing Corporation and Tonawanda Tank of Ohio were formed to function as asset management companies for the group.
