Apply today and Help Build the Equipment That Helps Save Lives

When firefighters arrive at a burning home, industrial accident, wildfire, or disaster scene, every gallon of water matters.

We are one of the nation's leading manufacturers of lightweight poly water tanks used in fire apparatus across North America. Our products help fire departments carry more water, respond more effectively, and reach communities when every second counts.

The company was founded on a simple but powerful idea: traditional steel tanks are heavy, limiting the amount of water emergency vehicles can transport. By engineering durable, lightweight poly tanks, UPF helped transform the fire industry—allowing more water to reach the scene, extending operational capability, and helping first responders protect lives and property.

Today, we continue to lead the market while expanding into industrial, transportation, and custom-engineered solutions. As we grow, we're looking for leaders who want to grow with us.
