Fast Engineering Ltd was established in 1981 by the Company's Managing Director, Seamus Connolly MBE, to manufacture Fastank - a patented water storage container for use in developing countries to meet the needs of the UN decade of water and sanitation. Since then Fastank has developed other niche markets including oil and chemical spill clean up, fire fighting, civil defence, fish farming and animal rescue. Fastank's are used by oil companies, major aid relief agencies, water companies and other government agencies worldwide.
Fast Engineering is an export led Company. They employ 10 staff and service some 75 countries worldwide. Main markets include USA, Japan, Europe, Africa, Middle East, Antarctica and SE Asia.
Headline applications include the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill, the Goa barge incident and more recently, the Spanish 'Prestige' spill in December 2002. Fastank has also been put to some other extraordinary uses such as alligator growing, baptisms and mud wrestling.
