ATS opens Ohio food-grade tank wash

The growing company bolsters its national cleaning network by launching a new Cincinnati facility alongside IBC tote partner HydroForce.

Key Highlights

  • The ATS Cincinnati facility is strategically located to serve the transportation industry with food-grade tank cleaning services.
  • The new location operates independently but collaborates with HydroForce to offer comprehensive container and tanker cleaning solutions.
  • This expansion follows the ATS rebranding and recent facility openings in Texas, reflecting its growth and commitment to industrial cleaning excellence.

American Tank Solutions (ATS) is expanding nationally.

The company recently opened a new food-grade tank cleaning facility in Cincinnati, Ohio, co-located with HydroForce, a leader in IBC tote cleaning and reconditioning.

“This expansion is an exciting milestone for ATS,” ATS CEO John Jolly said in a news release. “We’re proud to bring our commitment to safety, quality, and customer service to Cincinnati, while expanding our food-grade cleaning network. We’re equally excited to operate alongside HydroForce, whose reputation for excellence in tote cleaning makes this location a unique resource for the transportation industry.”

The facility is located at 1700 West St. on Cincinnati’s north side.

ATS will independently operate the food-grade tank wash, which provides shippers and carriers with “another trusted wash location,” the company said. ATS and HydroFroce aim to provide complementary services, giving customers a convenient location for their container and tanker cleaning needs.

A trajectory of growth

The Cincinnati facility marks the latest step in ATS’s growth strategy.

The company, formerly known as Texas Tank Works, officially rebranded to American Tank Solutions in September 2025 to reflect its expanding presence and capabilities. During the rebranding, ATS retained its workforce, management, and ownership, ensuring continuity of service at its established Hillsboro and Nederland, Texas, facilities.

Earlier this year, the company reinforced Gulf Coast operations by opening a new facility in the Lucas Gusher Industrial Complex in Beaumont, Texas, that was designed for a range of cleaning demands, including:

  • Industrial box cleaning for vacuum boxes, frac tanks, and roll-offs
  • IBC container, drum, and tote cleaning
  • Filter pot rehabilitation and cleaning
  • Heat exchanger and pressurized vessel cleaning

“The Beaumont facility strengthens our ability to respond quickly and efficiently to growing industrial cleaning demands,” the company noted.
