Since 1997, Ditech Testing has set the standard for propane cylinder and tank refurbishing and re-certification. We offer industry-leading innovation, quality, and the fastest turnaround time in the industry. Our continued growth is fueled by our commitment to providing clients with cost-saving solutions, hassle-free delivery, and exceptional service.

On June 30, 2024, Manchester Tank announced the acquisition of Ditech Testing, joining the McWane family of companies, a strategic move that strengthens our capabilities within the propane tank and pressure vessel industry.
