Additech & H-E-B to Begin Offering Engine-Cleaning Fuel Additives at Fuel Centers across Texas

HOUSTON--Houston-based Additech and San Antonio-based H-E-B today announced a deal to place Additech’s patented fuel additive distribution system in H-E-B fuel centers across Texas.

“We are very pleased to have HEB in our family of customers. This contract is especially important to us because of the “presence” it will give us in our home State – Texas. The contract with HEB is for five years and we expect to install our system in materially all HEB stores that have fuel centers,” said Ralph Koehrer, Additech CEO.

The installations will take place over the next year with 30 installations planned by year-end.

“H-E-B is one of the nation’s most innovative retailers and no retailer is more representative of the state of Texas than HEB,” said Andy Austin, Additech president. “Adding Additech to HEB fuel centers gives HEB customers the opportunity to save gas and save money, while helping to reduce harmful automotive emissions in Texas.”

Additech’s patented “tune-up at the pump” service gives consumers the option to purchase fuel system cleaners that are blended into their gasoline and clean their engine’s vital parts as they drive. Through normal engine wear and tear, carbon deposits begin to build-up on fuel system and engine parts in as little as 1500 miles. Additech fuel additives remove these carbon deposits, resulting in more efficient fuel combustion.

Additech and H-E-B began working together last year in a 5 site pilot program.

“We have a deep commitment to the state of Texas and to our customers,” said James Aulds, HEB Vice President of Petroleum Marketing. “We are happy to offer our customers a convenient service that helps them maintain their vehicles and keep the environment clean.”

Additech operates its system at more than 2,200 fueling positions across 16 states at major fuel retailers. The company expects to have its systems installed at over 2,800 fueling positions in over 550 sites by year-end.
