PetroPlus joins BlueCat Distributor Network
12th December 2005
Teesside-based oil giant Petroplus today announce a strategic distribution and logistics partnership with BlueCat AdBlue.
In a service to be marketed under Petroplus's Blue-plus brand, the company will deliver BlueCat AdBlue in Bulk to larger end-users and regional distributors nationwide
Petroplus is Europe's largest midstream oil company with refinery interests in the UK on Teesside, Switzerland and Belgium. It distributes just under 20% of the UK commercial road diesel to some of the most substantial names in UK haulage. Many of these multi-depot hauliers will install their own AdBlue tanks and the agreement with PetroPlus allows both J&H Bunn and Petroplus to offer a guaranteed Bulk BlueCat nationwide delivery service to these largest users.
The ground-breaking Blue-plus bulk delivery service complements the network of BlueCat distributors who, in turn, will supply AdBlue in 10, 200 & 1000 litre packages to their local markets. Petroplus will be able to provide BlueCat to their own customers through this network of bulk and package deliveries, as required.
Ian Waller, Business Development Manager at Petroplus said "This strategic alliance should give confidence to the UK Haulage & Bus industry that the secure and cost-effective bulk supply of AdBlue is now assured throughout the country.
"Petroplus is serious about enabling modern operators to run the next generation of fuel-efficient low-pollution vehicles to benefit their own businesses alongside environmental responsibility. The link with BlueCat furthers that strategy.
John Fuller, BlueCat Director said, "This agreement with Petroplus marks the point at which the emerging AdBlue market comes of age. It means that leading operators can have the confidence that AdBlue can be delivered in Bulk from one of the most respected names in fuel distribution with the the choice of sourcing packaged supply from a network of local distributors
