Sustained-load cracking. I’ve heard that Luxfer have closed their plant in Australia and that they are no longer manufacturing scuba tanks. Is that true?

No. Luxfer has not stopped manufacturing scuba tanks. The Luxfer plant in Australia was closed in 2004 during a consolidation of Luxfer’s global manufacturing capacity. However, Luxfer has maintained a sales office and distribution center near Sydney. The Luxfer tanks now sold in Australia are manufactured at the Luxfer plant in California, which produces more aluminium tanks than any other facility in the world. Luxfer also manufactures scuba tanks in England. Luxfer remains fully committed to supplying the highest-quality tanks to the scuba industry worldwide.
