History

There had to be a better way and flexible PVC lining was and remains today the answer. Ken Lippert, after years of working in the woodstave tank lining industry decided in 1976 to start his own company. He knew that flexible PVC liners were the cost effective solution to the on-going challenge of containing liquids, particularly corrosive and dangerous materials.

Ken built Kentain Products Limited on a simple philosophy: “build leak free, resilient prefabricated liners that meet the customers’ needs and the company will grow.”

And grow it did. Within several years Ken had moved out of the garage and into a larger manufacturing space. In 1986 Ken and his brother Glen built their own 6,000 square foot plant in Kitchener. The new facility allowed Kentain to take on much larger projects.

In 1993 Ken retired, selling the business to his brother Glen. Today Glen, his son Scott and a long time employee, Joseph Schaefer, are the key people in continuing the Kentain tradition of manufacturing and installing the best flexible PVC tank liners in Canada.
