National Tank & Equipment Expands Operations to Virginia Beach Area
National Tank & Equipment (NTE), a leading provider of liquid handling solutions, is expanding its Mid-Atlantic operations with a new facility in Chesapeake, Va., opening Monday, November 11th. The new branch features a spacious 3.5-acre, fully fenced yard, a 4,500 square foot two-bay shop, and a newly renovated 1,500 square foot office to accommodate NTE's continued growth. Situated just 15 minutes east of downtown Suffolk and 17 minutes west of Norfolk, the location also enables NTE to serve the growing Virginia Beach market, just 35 minutes from the branch.
The Virginia Beach location marks a strategic move for NTE and signifies the 22nd addition to its growing footprint, with other branches strategically located near major customer hubs in Richmond, Va.; Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Williamsport, Pa.; Baltimore; and Houston. NTE also has a network of branches along the Gulf Coast and its national headquarters and corporate offices are in Pasadena, Texas.
Operations at the new branch will be led by regional manager John Baker, branch manager Curtis Allison, and outside sales rep Sean McGee.
"Opening our Virginia Beach location is an exciting step forward in NTE’s strategic growth," said Rhett Lasserre, CEO of National Tank & Equipment. "As our second branch in Virginia, alongside our Richmond location, this expansion allows us to provide greater accessibility, enhanced service, and more support to our customers across the Mid-Atlantic region. We're excited to bring the same dedication and expertise that have made us a trusted partner in Texas and along the Eastern Seaboard to Virginia Beach, and we’re eager to get started."
NTE’s Virginia Beach branch is fully equipped to cater to the diverse needs of customers throughout Virginia, offering an extensive inventory of pumps, tanks, filtration systems, and more. With a commitment to prompt service, NTE ensures ready availability for equipment rentals, sales, and service, supporting projects ranging from construction to municipality.
“National Tank & Equipment’s fleet is one of the youngest in the industry, and by having our Virginia Beach, Richmond, and Baltimore branches within reach, we can source the reliable equipment customers need from an expanded line,” said regional manager Baker. “Whether it’s for a day, a week, or a year, we’ll ensure quick delivery to job sites, making liquid handling equipment rentals easier than ever. We're excited to showcase our unmatched customer service and efficiency to the Virginia Beach market.”
The new location aligns with NTE's strategic growth plan to broaden its geographic reach and provide enhanced support to customers throughout North America.
