our hiStory

Sharpsville Steel Fabricators was founded in 1860 at its current location in Sharpsville, Pennsylvania.
In 1990, the focus of the company was shifted to high quality metal containers.
In 1997, the company was purchased by The Reserve Group and the production of Aseptic and Bulk
Chemical Transport containers was relocated to Sharpsville. These containers range in size from 30
to 550 gallons and can be produced to meet UN/DOT, ASME, and NSF International specifications.
In 2001, the production of nonrefillable pressure cylinders was moved from another sister company to
Sharpsville. These cylinders meet DOT, Canadian and European
standards.
Sharpsville Container is a ASME Certified Code manufacturing
facility and carries three stamps: “U”, “UM”, and “R”. The
company is able to manufacture custom designed pressure
vessels to suit its customers’ needs.
UN/DOT Certification can also be obtained for custom designs
or for pre-designed containers. The rigorous testing that these
containers undergo can put your mind at ease when transporting
or storing your hazardous chemicals.
Sharpsville containers are up to the task. Shippers and end users
of our containers know they can be confident that their products
will be safely transported, stored, and ready for use.
A renewed dedication, and a broad expansion of initiatives,
bolstered by world class quality programs have enabled our
company to become ISO 9001 certified.
