Amthor International, a manufacturer of truck-mounted tanks, will be adding 50 jobs to its current staff of about 60 full-time employees, the company announced Tuesday.

The company opened its manufacturing plant in Gretna in 1992 to build tanks for fuel delivery vehicles, water trucks, fire department pump trucks and more.

Pittsylvania County Director of Economic Development Ken Bowman told a crowd of county leaders that are also under way for enlarging the plant.

Arnold “Butch” Amthor talked to the group about how the business has grown, with the company’s tanks being fitted to various trucks and shipped to countries all over the world.

A shipment of two water tank trucks left for Puerto Rico as the crowd was forming, and other orders are currently being prepared for Morocco and China, Amthor said. An American company has also ordered 75 tank trucks that can empty portable toilets.

Fred Ingram, the Callands-Gretna District member of the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors, presented Amthor with a pewter Pittsylvania County seal paperweight, a gift reserved for new companies arriving in the county or existing companies expanding and adding jobs.
