Ronco
Plastics is a major manufacturer of molded plastic (polyethylene) holding tanks for
boats, recreational vehicles, and various industrial purposes. Ronco requested FinCo’s
assistance in developing durable outdoor polyethylene tanks for storing acids and other
caustic chemicals. These chemicals are often so corrosive in nature that they can eventually
destroy standard polyethylene tanks, especially when exposed to prolonged sunlight.
FinCo helped develop a line of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) chemical containment
tanks that were impervious to the long-term affects of acid and sunlight. FinCo still
produces the outer fiberglass shells for these “glass backed” FRP tanks, which have
become standard industry equipment for storing acids and other caustic substances.
