We had a great time attending the 28th Annual International Aboveground Storage Tank Conference & Trade Show (NISTM) in Orlando last week.

A special thank you to everyone who stopped by to meet with David Hurtado of Specified.works and Jack Kirkmyer of General Industries during the event. We truly enjoyed the conversations and look forward to continuing those relationships moving forward.

It was a pleasure connecting with so many professionals across the storage tank, petroleum, and industrial infrastructure industries and having meaningful conversations about the challenges organizations are facing in today’s market. Events like NISTM are always a great reminder of how valuable in-person collaboration and industry relationships continue to be.

At the show, General Industries highlighted our ability to design and fabricate large, customized petroleum storage tanks built to customer specifications and industry standards. We appreciated the opportunity to speak with attendees about current projects, operational needs, and future planning initiatives.

Thank you to the NISTM team for hosting another successful conference, and to all the attendees, partners, and industry peers who made the event such a positive experience.
