Austin, Texas-based Dover Fueling Solutions scored on two fronts in December 2017, in India: the company was awarded a fuel dispenser tender from state-owned Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), India’s leading oil marketing company, and it announced the opening of a new factory in Navi Mumbai.
The fuel dispenser order the company received in December 2017 was the second order from BPCL in a year, following the first dispenser tender award in 2016. The recent win is for 5,000 Tokheim Quantium fuel dispensers with enhanced fraud prevention features to be installed across BPCL’s retail network in India.
Tom Cerovski, vice president and general Manager of the Dover Fueling Solutions Dispenser Business Unit said, “We are excited about our continued commercial success across several product lines in India.”
The company announced the opening of its new global manufacturing facility in Navi Mumbai. This factory spans an area of 90,000 square feet, and can produce up to 20,000 fuel dispensers per year. On the occasion, president David Crouse said, “Dover’s aspirations for this market and surrounding region require an exceptional manufacturing facility, which we are creating with this new factory. India is one of the key best-value countries from a manufacturing and sourcing perspective.”
