View company profile

In 1891, Union Tank Car Company began its journey as Union Tank Line, formed to operate the Standard Oil Company tank car fleet. The company's origins trace back even further to 1859, when Edwin Drake's pioneering oil well in Pennsylvania sparked the petroleum industry and created an urgent need for specialized transportation equipment. Recognizing this gap, the founders developed innovative tank car designs that would revolutionize how liquids were transported across North America, transforming oil from a difficult-to-move commodity into a readily available resource that fueled the nation's growth.

Over more than 130 years, UTLX has evolved into North America's largest manufacturer, lessor, and maintainer of tank cars, with the largest tank car fleet on the continent and a network of more than 100 repair locations. Today, the company's Alexandria, Louisiana manufacturing plant produces state-of-the-art railcars that transport essential commodities - including oil and gas, chemicals, food products, and agricultural materials - across the continent. Now part of the Marmon Group and Berkshire Hathaway family, UTLX's 3,000+ employees continue to uphold the company's founding commitment to safety, quality, and innovation in rail transportation.
