As we look toward the next 10 years, we are excited to launch new and innovative products for our customers. No review of our first 10 years would be complete without paying tribute to our dear friend and colleague who built a great team and infrastructure in SE Asia. We would not be where we are today without the knowledge, hard work and support from our Captain, Ronin Chua.
May the next 10 years bring success, 520 weeks of laughter, 3650 days of fun, 87,600 hours of joy, 5,256,000 minutes of luck, and 315,360,000 seconds of happiness.

For the last decade, our customers have marvelled at Flexitanks’ ability to deliver the best tanks on time and without hassle. But as we celebrate our 10-year anniversary, I’d like to take some time to thank the real stars of the show, our employees.’
