Our Founder – Louis “Lou” Koszewski founded US Tank Protectors, Inc. back in 1989 with the vision of providing very specialized cathodic protection services to fill the growing need at that time for specialized corrosion and cathodic protection services for aboveground storage tanks.

Lou started in cathodic protection back in 1979 while he was still in high school.  Lou performed some of the first computerized cathodic protection surveys on the Alaska Pipeline.  His tireless commitment and dedication to his vision has allowed him to climb to the pinnacle of the cathodic protection industry for aboveground storage tanks.
