IBC Tank Service for Des Moines & Central Iowa
Des Moines is Iowa's capital and largest city, anchoring a metropolitan area of over 700,000 people. While internationally known as the insurance capital of the world, Des Moines has a far more diverse economy than that reputation suggests. Food processing, manufacturing, agriculture, biotechnology, and logistics are all major pillars of the central Iowa economy — and all are industries that depend on IBC tanks for daily operations.
Our Omaha facility at 8520 G St sits approximately 150 miles west of Des Moines along Interstate 80, one of the busiest and most efficient freight corridors in the country. The direct I-80 route makes Des Moines one of our most natural delivery destinations, and we maintain regular routes to the metro to serve our growing customer base in central Iowa.
We deliver throughout the greater Des Moines area, including the city of Des Moines, West Des Moines, Ankeny, Urbandale, Johnston, Clive, Waukee, Altoona, Pleasant Hill, and surrounding Polk, Dallas, and Warren county communities. Whether you are in the industrial corridors along SE 14th Street, the business parks in West Des Moines, or the agricultural areas of greater central Iowa, we deliver directly to your location.

Industries We Serve in Des Moines
Des Moines' economy goes well beyond insurance. Central Iowa is a hub for food processing, agriculture, manufacturing, and biotech — all industries that rely on IBC tanks.
Food Processing & Ingredient Manufacturing
Des Moines and central Iowa are home to some of the largest food processing operations in the country. Companies like Barilla, Dee Zee, and numerous grain processors rely on IBC tanks for ingredient storage, liquid transport, and in-process handling. From corn syrup and soybean oil to flavoring concentrates and cleaning solutions, food-grade IBC totes are indispensable in Iowa's food manufacturing corridor. We supply FDA-compliant tanks that meet the strict standards required by food processors.
Agriculture & Ethanol Production
Iowa is the nation's top corn and soybean producer, and Des Moines sits at the heart of this agricultural empire. Farmers throughout Polk, Dallas, Warren, and Story counties use IBC tanks for liquid fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and livestock water management. Iowa's ethanol plants — many located within an hour of Des Moines — use IBC tanks for chemical additives, denaturants, and process fluids throughout their operations.
Insurance & Financial Services
Des Moines is known as the insurance capital of the world, with over 80 insurance companies headquartered in the metro area. While insurance is a white-collar industry, these large corporate campuses have significant facilities management needs. IBC tanks serve building maintenance operations for HVAC chemicals, water treatment, groundskeeping products, and emergency water storage across these sprawling office complexes.
Manufacturing & Industrial
Des Moines has a robust manufacturing sector that includes machinery, metal fabrication, printing, and consumer goods. Companies like John Deere Financial and Bridgestone-Firestone maintain operations in the metro. Manufacturing facilities use IBC tanks for coolants, lubricants, paints, adhesives, solvents, and waste collection. Our industrial-grade tanks handle the full range of manufacturing chemicals.
Biotechnology & Life Sciences
Iowa's biotech sector has grown significantly, with Des Moines serving as a hub for agricultural biotechnology and life sciences research. Companies working on crop science, seed technology, and veterinary pharmaceuticals use IBC tanks for research-grade chemicals, growth media, and laboratory waste. We offer new, first-use tanks that meet the purity requirements of research and development operations.
Construction & Development
Des Moines is one of the fastest-growing metros in the Midwest, with major development projects in the East Village, downtown, and surrounding suburbs like Ankeny, West Des Moines, and Waukee. Construction sites throughout the area use IBC tanks for water supply, concrete curing, dust suppression, and site cleanup. Our reconditioned tanks offer builders an affordable, reusable option for job-site needs.
Central Iowa Coverage Area
Our Des Moines service extends well beyond the city limits. We deliver throughout central Iowa, including the rapidly growing suburbs and the agricultural communities that surround the metro. Ankeny, one of the fastest-growing cities in America, is a frequent delivery destination with its mix of manufacturing and commercial operations.
We also serve Iowa State University in Ames (about 30 miles north of Des Moines), Newton, Pella, Oskaloosa, and other communities in the central Iowa corridor. Agricultural operations throughout Story, Boone, Jasper, and Marion counties are within easy reach of our delivery routes.
