CORPORATE PROFILE

SAUDER HISTORY AND LOCATION

Sauder Tank Company was founded in 1926 by the Sauder family in Madison, Kansas, approximately 20 miles south of its present location.  The original product line supplied storage tanks and various equipment to the oil patch.  Sauder was moved to its present location in Emporia, Kansas in 1956 (which is approximately 100 miles southwest of Kansas City) to utilize the rail line in Emporia.  In 1986, the company was purchased by several key employees.  The name then changed to Sauder Custom Fabrication, Inc.
