We have been building fiberglass reinforced plastic tanks for a wide range of applications since 1974.
Headquartered in Giddings, Texas, LFM maintains production facilities across the United States to provide timely service to customers operating in isolated areas.

LFM’s fiberglass fertilizer storage tanks are designed and manufactured for your specific application. We equal or exceed industry standards to insure long and trouble-free service. Our fiberglass tanks are engineered for specific service conditions required by our customers. The final tank design depends on factors such as operating temperature, chemical environment, specific gravity, wind, seismic loading, agitation and pressure or vacuum operating conditions. We maintain individual inspection reports for each tank; recording resin system used, actual material usage, fittings, accessories, recommended end use and destination.
LFM produces quality fiberglass reinforced fertilizer storage tanks that are an outstanding economical value when compared to conventional steel tanks. Our fiberglass products weigh approximately 60% less than steel, which reduces installation costs. LFM’s fiberglass fertilizer storage tanks have a longer service life than steel tanks, thus saving money in the long run.
LFM’s fiberglass tanks, when manufactured using certain FRP resin systems, can service multiple processes. Each resin type is resistant to a wide range of chemicals and specifications and can include fire retardants.
Our fiberglass reinforced fertilizer storage tanks eliminate the need for additional corrosion protection, such as exterior painting and cathodic protection systems for above ground and underground installations.
LFM has its own fleet of delivery trucks specifically equipped to transport fiberglass tanks. This helps to lower delivery costs considerably. We also employ a professional delivery staff whose primary goal is to provide safe and courteous on-time delivery of our products to our valued customers. Our fiberglass tanks are much lighter than steel tanks, making them more affordable to deliver and making them much easier to handle during loading and unloading.
