The Spangler Candy Company's best-known product will adorn the water tower near their plant in Bryan, Ohio. Dum Dums lollipops will be celebrated on the repainted water tank joint venture of Spangler Candy and the Bryan Board of Public Affairs. The team commissioned Eric Henn, an award-winning muralist, for the repaint that Spangler will fund. Henn is world renowned for his murals and has been featured on other famous Tnemec-based tanks, like in Destin, Florida.

The winner of the 2022 Tnemec Company Tank of the Year contest is a patriotic tank on Airline Drive at Barksdale Boulevard. The Bossier City water tank features a salute to the area’s first responders and a silhouette of a B-52, no doubt a nod to the nearby Barksdale Air Force Base.

The Rosemont, IL water tower was completed in late 2006 and was the first winner of Tnemec Company’s coveted Tank of the Year Competition. The intricately-rose-painted tank has been a village landmark since its construction in 1982. Since then, the water tower has undergone two significant repaints utilizing an oil-based enamel paint in 1990 and 1998. When recoating was necessary again in 2006, Christopher Burke Engineering and the Village of Rosemont, Illinois, chose a long-lasting, durable Tnemec coating.
