TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
FLEETMAXX SOLUTIONS opens a new office in Ipswich
FLEETMAXX SOLUTIONS announces the opening of a new office in Ipswich. Yes, that is correct. We are expanding, and despite other big-name organisations furloughing and cutting staff, we are actively hiring. As fuel card service providers, we are rejecting the course other operators take in closing places of work, and we are generating new working environments. We are kicking off our UK expansion in the east, occupying Unit 18 in Altitude Business Park
- right next to the A14 and A12, overlooking the River Orwell - right in the middle of where business needs us. During this crisis, our group has been helping more than 50,000 customers keep moving. These organisations include HGV operators, hauliers, essential service operators, plumbers, builders, electricians, entrepreneurs, transport managers, fleet operators, sole traders, owner drivers and start-up companies that have been keeping this nation on its feet. Our parent company is Oilfast Ltd, who are a substantial bulk fuel, lubricant and licensed
Adblue® distributor. So, as a group, we have been secure in our staff retention during this Covid- 19 situation. Now we are looking to find the best of the best to join FLEETMAXX SOLUTIONS.
ADVERTORIALS
Wieland’s new HMI ECO touch panels - essential for machines and systems
Wieland’s new HMI ECO touch panels have become essential for machines and systems in their use for visualisation, operation, and diagnostics. When used in conjunction with the samos® PRO safety controller they offer complete automation, including seamless data exchange between the visualisation software hmiPLAN and the planning software samos® PLAN6. The unit offers flexible communication and seamless integration with over 40 different PLC and device manufacturers, including convenient data exchange of export and import functions. This robust IP66 display is easily programmed via an Ethernet or USB client, while
commissioning is quick having only one project file, which is easily converted to suit each screen size. Designed for industrial environments, HMI ECO touch panels have an extended temperature range from -10°C to 60°C on standard panels with -20°C to 60°C supplied on request.

Aluminium pallets range introduced
Exporta has added a new range of metal pallets made from lightweight but robust aluminium to its extensive range of plastic and wooden pallets.
While the crippling impact of coronavirus has hit so many towns and people’s livelihoods, FLEETMAXX SOLUTIONS Business Development Manager, Kyle Davey, is glad we have come to Ipswich. “I have spent seven years in the fuel card business, and ten years in sales. I found out about this new career opportunity through LinkedIn. I was searching for a position with a fuel card provider because I had just been furloughed by my previous employer. Finding this leadership position in my hometown is so fortunate.”
Made in Germany, these pallets are said to be of the highest quality, made from high-grade aluminium, hygienic and strong. The company says: “With a longer lifespan
than a standard wooden or plastic pallet, they have a higher return on investment. Unlike wood that can swell and warp, metal pallets will not change their shape over time, ideal for use in an automated system. Their uniform surface makes them easy to clean and sanitise. They are resistant to static build- up and have a much higher tolerance to an extreme temperature range, much higher than wood or plastic. They will operate at temperatures of -80°C and +90°C, making them useful in environments with temperature extremes.”

Red Ledge: Process Control Technology
Red Ledge (
www.redledge.co.uk) automation and process control technology can be used for pick- and-place systems to aid automatic packing of goods. This means orders are 100% accurate.
Steve Clarke, Marketing Manager at FLEETMAXX SOLUTIONS, agrees: “Kyle has the
credentials we were seeking. His merits are remarkably high, when working for our competitor, he held the top sales of volume for more than two years. His dedication to working as a consultant, knowledge of road legislation in the Europe Union as well as the UK, and his portfolio of self-generated leads are the kind of achievements that stand out, and the personality we were seeking to fill this leadership role in a new area.” The fuel card range at FLEETMAXX SOLUTIONS is valid at BP, Esso, Shell, and Texaco sites as
well as supermarkets (Fuelgenie), independent retailers and specialist diesel networks, such as Keyfuels and UKfuels.
