Mission Statement Northbrook's objectives are: To develop long-term customer relationships by providing quality bulk containers, superior customer service, and developing innovative solutions to meet our customers' needs and objectives. To develop new markets by being proactive rather than reactive to new concepts, thereby optimizing our ability to be flexible and responsive to our customers' and suppliers' needs. To develop long-term customer and supplier relationships. Although Northbrook may be small, we view this as a benefit rather than a shortcoming. By doing away with the bureaucracy of a large company, we are more responsive to new ideas and needs that our customers and suppliers have. Often, large companies will say that they are responsive, but in final analysis, they sell what they have rather than what the customer needs. The equipment that we propose to provide will respond to our customers' needs and have the flexibility required for use in a secondary market. It is our belief that the initial customer request and the requirement to have equipment that will meet the needs of future customers’ are not mutually exclusive objectives. Through prudent design specifications, both the needs of the user and the requirements of the owner can be served. As you can see from the various General Specifications Sheets, Northbrook’s Equipment is designed for the rigors of International and Domestic North American service. We include several features in our tanks that make our tanks "user friendly" while reducing maintenance and repair costs, such as: Tanks constructed of 316 L/LN, cold rolled, 2B finished stainless steel Prepainted (white) aluminum cladding Bottom outlet assembly enclosed with steam connection Cleanflow ® bottom outlet with steam connection Eight point manlid with safety bolt 10 bar operating pressure steam system Steam system equipped with safety valve Safety release cable on both sides of the tank Full frame and beam designs Paint is V.O.C. compliant zinc rich primer with polyurethane top coat Northbrook Container Leasing designed, built, tested, certified and patented the first fully intermodal, non-tipping, dry bulk containers that meet international transportation standards.
