They have manufactured stock available for quick client delivery, and the tankers we have purchased have assisted us greatly to operate across Ireland, serving our clients with peace of mind, with great after-sales service from Hopdeals.”
Future Vision
Hopdeals has ambitious plans for the future, including the establishment of a dedicated assembly plant to double production capacity. In addition to vacuum tankers, the company is also eyeing the development of jet vac tankers.
