The Hall

Tanax Trucks a.s. was founded in 2000 with engineering tradition reaching back to 1997. Twenty-nine years of welded steel, paint, and intermodal handover. The legal entity is Tanax Trucks a.s.; Tanax Containers is the containers brand of the same legal entity. Registered office: Červeňova 28, 811 03 Bratislava. IČO 36392171 · DIČ 2020104702 · IČ DPH SK2020104702.

The company sits in the Tanax Group alongside Tanax Trucks (special-vehicle engineering) and the wider industrial portfolio. The container business shares the production hall, the welding line, the paint booth, the engineering team, and the documentation chain with the rest of the group. There is no contract-manufacturing layer between the customer's purchase order and the steel.

The production facility is at Partizánska 73, 957 01 Bánovce nad Bebravou. Eight major capability groups under one roof:

Every container family that leaves Bánovce passes through this line. Switching between ISO Standard, Office and Living, Sanitary, Special Purpose and Custom is a process question, not a capability question.

Tanax Containers is one of two trading identities under Tanax Trucks a.s. The sister identity, Tanax Trucks, supplies engineered vehicle bodies and special-purpose chassis work to overlapping customer sets (defense, public security, industrial OEMs). Operationally the two share the production facility, the welding line, the paint booth, the QA team and the documentation chain. From a buyer's point of view, the consequence is that any container delivered by Tanax Containers carries the same execution standards as the rest of the group's hardware.
