Liquip’s Beta Fluid Systems Division, located in Reidsville, North Carolina, announced today the completion and 100 percent on--time delivery of 50 aviation refueler modules and hydrant dispenser carts destined for Pertamina Aviation, the aviation fueling division of Indonesia’s national oil company.
The contract was part of the largest single contract in the world, awarded in October 2013 with seemingly impossible delivery requirements and heavy performance penalties for late delivery. Not only did the company deliver the contract on time, but over 50 percent of the units were completed well ahead of schedule.
“Pertamina contracts are some of the most stringent in the world in terms of delivery and reliability requirements, especially in remote harsh conditions. Beta has a unique capability to deliver reliable products, in high volume, on time,” said Jon DeLine, president of the division.
Pertamina Aviation manages all commercial aviation fueling at Indonesia’s 230 airports. With over 13,000 islands, and many of those airports operating as key economic links between hundreds of remote islands, equipment reliability is of primary concern. Airlines depend on fueling equipment to keep them flying, so any equipment downtime in remote areas can be catastrophic to local economies.
“When reliability, support, and on--time delivery are the key decision drivers, customers choose us. Everyone here is focused on helping our customers turn their fuel into profit,” said DeLine.
Beta Fluid Systems, is the world’s leading manufacturer of highly specialized aviation fueling equipment and has 1000’s of refueling units in service in over 40 countries world wide.
