It starts as flat steel

Coiled steel is cut into sheets. Each sheet is rolled into a shell and welded shut along one seam.

Hoops in, ends on

Two hoops are pressed into the wall, so a full drum can be rolled and stacked. Then the top and bottom are seamed on.

Painted in your colour

The drum turns under the spray so the coat goes on even, in the colour your product is known by.

Printed with your name

Your logo is screen-printed on the body and the top. Every drum that leaves your plant says who filled it.

      The range

      New and reconditioned industrial packaging, from a single cap seal to a truckload of drums.

        New

        Built for your product. Pick the thickness, the head, the colour and the print, and we make the drum to match.

        New steel drums

        Reconditioned

        Already made, already proven. Used drums and tanks are cleaned, checked and repainted, then sent back to work.

        Reconditioned drums

        Drag to turn

        A used drum is not a finished drum.

        Steel does not wear out after one fill. We recondition drums and tanks so they can go round again, and so less new steel and plastic has to be made.

            New and reconditioned drums, from Dubai to the Gulf.

            Drum Express is a global enterprise built around one thing: industrial drums, new and reconditioned.

            What we do

            We manufacture new steel drums and screen-print them on the body and the top. We trade reconditioned steel and plastic drums, open-top and close-top, along with IBC tanks. We process used wooden pallets for resale, make and trade tin cans, and supply metal cap seals for 200 L drums.

            Our aim is simple: give the people who fill and ship these products high quality packaging and service.

            How we make it

            Our drums come in a range of thickness configurations, to suit solid or liquid contents, hot or cold filling, and cylindrical or conical stacking.

            The plant follows safety, health and environmental norms. Steel, fittings, paints and lacquers come from suppliers at home and around the world.
