HEB Expands Additech “Fuel System Tune-up” Offering to Remaining Stores

HOUSTON--Additech (www.additech.com), North America’s leading outsourced operator of at-the-pump interactive merchandising systems, and San Antonio-based grocery chain H-E-B today announced the roll-out of Additech’s tune-up at the pump program to the remainder of HEB’s Fuel Centers.

“H-E-B is known for its innovation and commitment to our home state of Texas. This expansion to the remainder of HEB’s fuel centers is especially important to Additech because it marks the first roll-out of our new integrated Dresser Wayne Ovation/Additech fuel additive dispenser. We are pleased to be working closely with Dresser Wayne and HEB, whose fuels team was instrumental in bringing this solution to market,” said Andrew Austin, Additech CEO.

“We’ve been working with Additech for three years and our mutual desire was to have an integrated, seamless fuel dispenser/Additech solution that could be rolled out to the remainder of our fuel centers. Together Dresser Wayne and Additech delivered a solution that exceeded our expectations and improved the fueling experience for our customers,” said George Presses, Director of Petroleum Marketing at HEB. “HEB’s customers appreciate the Additech service offering. And, HEB enjoys the income Additech delivers,” added James Aulds, Vice President of Petroleum Marketing at HEB.

Additech’s latest generation of fuel additive dispenser is built into Dresser Wayne Ovation fuel dispensers to offer consumers fuel additives mixed with their gasoline as they pump. The installations will take place during the last quarter of 2009 and be completed by January 2010.
