About Our Client

Our client is a Multinational who have been in operation for over a decade and compositely hold the IP to a range of hydrocarbon-based fuel performance technologies, which it manufactures along with high technology machines, delivering enhanced fuel performance, reduced harmful emissions, lower equipment maintenance costs and extended engine life.
They have already generated a business of US $50m which incidentally is just the tip of the iceberg. They are on the thresh hold of significant growth which would be fuelled and driven through a strategic and highly focused global representation and presence.

World Class Products

Their products have been subject to independent tests from a broad spectrum of industry and government entities (in Australia and overseas) over the last 14 years. These tests have shown their products to be safe and to consistently reduce harmful emissions by up to 40% and increase fuel efficiency by up to 30%.
Our client’s business model is to sell its products through carefully selected joint venture/strategic partners and local distributors although it reserves the right to sell directly to end users where deemed appropriate.
Key target markets are: railways; power generation; shipping; commercial road transport (trucks, buses and taxis); military; heavy industry; mining plant and equipment; private transport. Currently, private transport accounts for only 1% of sales.
