Mexican Government Approves Gilbarco's Encore® 500S Dispensers For Replacement Program
Purchasers Now Eligible for Up to 100% Reimbursement Incentives
GREENSBORO, NC - October 9, 2006 - Gilbarco Veeder-Root today
announced that the Dirección General de Normas in Mexico has approved Gilbarco
Encore 500 S dispensers for the highest security certification. This means that
purchasers of the dispensers may now be eligible for government incentives that
can offset up to 100% of the purchase price.
"The security of our dispensers has long been an important
feature," said Richard Browne, Gilbarco Veeder-Root's vice president,
global service station equipment marketing. "We were particularly
gratified that the Encore 500 S has received this certification and the
recognition it conveys of the advanced security features inherent in the
product."
The Encore 500S is the first Gilbarco dispenser certified by the Mexican
Government as meeting all the requirements of NOM-005-SCFI-2005, which allows
for equipment to be commercialized in Mexico. The new security
requirements are part of a larger government effort to replace old dispensers
with newer, more secure ones. The certification indicates that the Encore 500 S
complies with all aspects of the new, higher certification program. As a
result, purchasers of the Encore 500 S are eligible for all government fiscal
incentives in the dispenser replacement program.
"The Mexican market has long been important to Gilbarco Veeder-Root,"
Browne said. "We're honored that the Mexican Government has shown
their faith in our products based on the careful examinations required to win
this certification."
The Encore S is Gilbarco Veeder-Root's best-selling line of dispensers.
