GREENSBORO, N.C. – June 5, 2008 – Gilbarco Veeder-Root will be featured on The Travel Channel’s Made In America program on Saturday, June 14. Gilbarco, the world’s leading supplier of retail and commercial fueling and payment technology, was chosen because their products are used by consumers around the world every day. The company’s products feature sophisticated technology that is developed and produced by skilled Americans at the Greensboro, N.C. global headquarters.
Host John Ratzenberger chats with Gilbarco Veeder-Root President Greg Beason about the company’s rich history of leadership and innovation that began in 1865 in Springfield, MA. They also talk about the company’s relocation of its headquarters to its current 600,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Greensboro, NC in 1965 (the company’s 100th year of business).
“We are extremely proud of our associates and enjoyed the opportunity to showcase them and our innovative technology to The Travel Channel’s audience,” Beason said. “Our business is changing rapidly to respond to changes in the retail fueling marketplace, and having The Travel Channel choose to feature many of our innovations is great recognition of the creativity and hard work of our associates.”
Gilbarco Vice President of Operations Roy Walker takes the camera crew on a tour of the company’s production line where Encore® S, the leading brand of fuel dispensers, is made for North American and global customers. Encore S dispensers feature merchandising and payment options that enable users to do new and exciting things while fueling. Consumers can search, view and print driving directions from Google, print coupons, and order sandwiches at the pump.
