Bringing British water storage expertise to Canada

British water storage manufacturer Evenproducts has partnered with Canadian greenhouse specialist Growtec to supply corrugated steel tanks, liners, covers and accessories to growers across Canada.

With roots in the irrigation industry dating back to 1953, Evenproducts began manufacturing water storage tanks in 1991. Based in Worcestershire, UK, Evenproducts manufactures water storage tanks ranging from 2m³ to more than 5,000m³. Its products are supplied to over 100 countries across six continents, including leading greenhouse builders and some of the world's largest irrigation companies. Through Growtec, Canadian growers will now have access to this international manufacturing experience, backed by local industry knowledge and support.

Growtec has built a strong reputation in the greenhouse industry, supported by an experienced sales and design team and a leading range of North American-manufactured cultivation gutters and drip irrigation systems.

Combining international experience with local expertise Evenproducts' Export Managing Director, Moran Yanuka, has spent more than 25 years working in the irrigation industry, including senior commercial roles at Plastro Irrigation Systems and John Deere Water. His experience developing irrigation markets across Europe has shaped his approach to water storage as an integral part of wider irrigation infrastructure.

"Water storage shouldn't be considered in isolation," says Moran. "It needs to work alongside the irrigation infrastructure and the grower's requirements. Growtec understands the Canadian greenhouse market, and together we can help growers specify solutions that work for their entire operation."

The partnership also gives Growtec access to a wider range of water storage products, supported by Evenproducts' technical expertise and experience working with international horticultural businesses.

Freddy Sarkis, CEO at Growtec, says: "Evenproducts stood out for its manufacturing experience, technical expertise and reputation in international horticulture. Access to its tanks, liners and accessories gives us greater flexibility to meet our customers' needs. We're excited about what this partnership will bring to Canadian growers."

British manufacturing, specialist engineeringEvenproducts is the only European corrugated steel tank manufacturer using British steel, sourced from Tata Steel UK. The company is also committed to a greener steel future, supporting the transition towards lower-carbon steel production through Tata Steel's investment in electric arc furnace technology.

Material quality is central to its manufacturing approach. Tank panels feature Tata Steel's MagiZinc® ZM310 coating for enhanced corrosion resistance, including at exposed steel edges, while manufacturing is backed by BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications.

"British manufacturing is something we're extremely proud of," says Managing Director Oliver Mathew. "Material quality matters, but it's the engineering, attention to detail and experience behind every tank that sets us apart. With an additional 35–40% safety factor, rigorous quality checks and strong aftersales support, we want customers to have confidence in both our products and our people."

That manufacturing capability has been demonstrated through major infrastructure projects, including a programme for UK water utility Severn Trent. Over just six months, Evenproducts supplied more than 300 tanks across over 200 sites, providing a combined storage capacity exceeding 30 million litres. The programme's success has led to further orders, with additional tanks now being supplied.

Product development remains an important part of the company's approach. Specialist features include vortex inhibitors and structural reinforcing rings, while tank capacities have grown to more than 5,000m³. The modular design allows tanks to be shipped flat-packed for efficient international transport, with multiple tanks linked together where greater storage capacity is required.

For Canadian growers, Evenproducts' industry leading steel covers offer a solution designed for demanding weather conditions. Manufactured using S280 and S390 structural-grade steel with MagiZinc® ZM310 coating, they are engineered to withstand challenging environments, including high winds and heavy snow loads.

The company also brings extensive experience working with different liner materials, including EPDM, flexible polypropylene (FPP) and reinforced PVC. Rather than relying on a single material, Evenproducts considers the requirements of each project, drawing on its knowledge of liner performance and installation to recommend the most suitable option. The aim is to ensure every customer receives a liner that matches the quality and durability of the tank itself.

Canadian growers can now access Evenproducts' full product range through Growtec, with support from initial specification and manufacturing through to delivery, installation guidance and aftercare.

"We want to be more than a tank supplier," adds Moran. "Working with Growtec means we can support more Canadian growers from the first conversation through to installation and beyond."
