(PRWEB) June 21, 2005 -- Amtech Tank Lining & Tank Repair (www.amtechtanklining.com) today announced that it would continue to make available and install the Armor Shield Tank Lining systems it previously marketed under Armor Shield Northeast.

With the addition of AmTechs BiFlex FRP tank lining systems and its strategic alliance with Hydrastone of Canada to be the sole applicator of their proprietary technologies as Hydrastone USA, AmTech will now service the underground, aboveground and hot water tank markets across the entire continental United States, under one name, Amtech Tank Lining & Repair."

Commenting on the change in name, Jeff Colner, VP of Operations for AmTech stated, For many years the underground tank industry has looked to us as Armor Shield Northeast, part of the Armor Shield applicators network. We are proud to continue the heritage of being part of the Armor Shield network and look forward to providing our existing and future customers the Armor Shield underground tank lining products and services they have come to know and expect from us. By re-branding our peripheral businesses under the AmTech Tank Lining & Repair name, we bring together our executives to form a world-class management team.

For years Armor Shield Northeast field crews and affiliates have provided tank lining and tank repair services for underground petroleum storage tanks, for such national customers as Shell, ExxonMobil, Sunoco and Hess. In addition, they have provided specialized double-wall tank repair services for major oil, local distributors and the tank manufacturing industry. Over the last several years, they have undertaken many gasoline and oil tank lining projects in Texas and the surrounding states.

AT FRP Services has serviced the water, chemical and food processing industries, providing refurbishing and repair services for fiberglass tanks and processing vessels. Harsh chemicals can deteriorate original gel coats, and our teams repair and re-gel coat these tanks, as well as perform field modifications such as adding new piping ports. Whether its a scheduled service during a plant shut down for an etching plant or emergency fiberglass tank repair service for Procter & Gamble, we are there for our customers," comments Colner.

AmTech Industrial Tank Services has taken on the challenges of the food processing, chemical and manufacturing industries with specialized AmTech BiFlexâ Lining Systems for steel tanks, evaporator pans, wash tank systems and cooling towers. We can take a worn, leaking unit and retro-fit a BiFlex FRP lining system to get it back in service in a matter of days from the time the customer calls," added Colner.

Hydrastone USA, provides cementious lining services for hot water tanks and chiller tanks, with state-of-the-art application technologies from HydraStone, Canadas largest cementious coatings company. Many schools, apartment complexes and other large hot water users depend on the Hydrastone process to reline their pressurized and non-pressurized hot water tanks.

AmTech Abrasive Blasting & Coating provides the necessary abrasive blasting techniques to prepare steel for coating. Many building restoration projects require steel, masonry, cement and wood surfaces to be restored. AmTech provides the methods necessary to contain residual blast materials and media dust in sensitive areas.

Jeff Colner ended by saying, We are changing some of our names to get all of our operating businesses on the same page, and our customers can expect the quality of our products and services will remain strong."
