One of Advance Tank’s greatest assets is our experienced personnel.  As a family owned business which was started by Spence and Betty Van Alsburg in 1968, we take great pride in the development and retention of each employee. Our personnel are more than just a name; our upper management and owners take great pride in forming relationships with each employee. Currently, Advance Tank has over 150 employees.

Our President, Jim Clay, has been with the company for over 20 years.
