About Brendan

Stainless Tank & Mix started in 1974, when Chris Firth registered Camair Industries and began contract work.

Brendan took over the business in 2001 and renamed it Stainless Tank & Mix to describe what it does. His 3 sons, Cameron, Brentley and Mitchell, have since joined the team at Minto.

In 2018 he stepped out of the office for 6 weeks to help build a 600,000 litre tank on site. He lost 15 kg doing it.

His project stories explain the decisions behind each build: why a tank moved from 304 to 316, why a mixer went in from the top, why a cheap tank ended up costing a customer more.
