Fox Tank invests $8M in new steel tank manufacturing facility in Ohio
Fox Tank Company has announced plans to open a new manufacturing facility in Coshocton, Ohio. The company, which produces steel storage tanks and ASME-certified pressure vessels for the oil and gas industry, is investing nearly $8 million in the project to support 89 new full-time-equivalent jobs.
The new facility will allow Fox Tank to relocate its manufacturing operations closer to the region’s shale resources, enhancing operational efficiency and expanding its capabilities. The company is acquiring equipment and assets from a recently closed company as part of the move. The Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved a 1.48 percent, eight-year Job Creation Tax Credit for the project. The credit is performance-based, with actual values determined by the number of jobs created and new payroll generated, subject to state verification.
