Clark Teams With Petroleum Parts Inc.

Deal offers overlay graphics, more, for dispenser "facelifts"

NAPERVILLE, Ill. -- Clark Brands LLC said that it has teamed with Petroleum Parts Inc. (PPI) to offer dispenser overlay graphics and replacement exterior sheet metal for Clark-branded facilities. As a Clark preferred vendor, PPI will provide a full-catalog of overlays to rebrand or "facelift" nearly any make or model of petroleum dispensers including Gilbarco, Wayne and Tokheim. Clark will provide survey tools and order forms to enable Clark customers to order PPI products on its website at www.clarkbrands.com.

This [image-nocss] new relationship with PPI will provide Clark-branded stations with a better source for dispenser graphics as well as most models and brands of remanufactured dispensers. PPI's processes ensure that these remanufactured products are remanufactured to original OEM standards or better. Clark stations will receive them "island-ready" at a cost thousands of dollars less than brand-new gas pumps/dispensers.

"Working with PPI will save our customers time and money. We know this partnership aligns Clark with a top-tier supplier," said Karl Goodhouse, president and CEO of Clark Brands. "I have always been impressed by the product quality and professionalism exhibited by PPI and I expect that service level to add value for Clark's customers for some time to come."

Terry Van Gilder, vice president of corporate sales at PPI, said, "This is a clear opportunity for customers of both companies to benefit from the services of a proven provider they have already grown to trust. We are excited about working with Clark and Clark customers to reduce costs while enhancing overall appearance."

Domestically and internationally, Fort Wayne, Ind.-based PPI supports the petroleum industry through an expansive line of dispenser graphics and parts. PPI's product line includes dispenser graphics, electronic circuit boards and printers, meters, key pads, card readers, encoders, pulsers, point-of-sale (POS) systems, control boxes, PCI compliant upgrades and replacement sheet metal and exterior trim. The PPI-DurEquip division is a petroleum-industry specialist in remanufactured/rebuilt Tokheim, Schlumberger, Gilbarco and Wayne gasoline pumps and dispensers.

Clark Brands owns the Clark family of brands. The company licenses the Clark gasoline brand and the Four Corners Coffee brand to independent petroleum marketers and retailers. Naperville, Ill.-based Clark also processes credit card and payments transactions for independents, all of this in 28 states and the District of Columbia.
