By on Mar 11, 2010

Wincanton has strengthened its relationship with two of the UK's biggest petroleum and industrial gas suppliers through extensions worth £112 million to its distribution contracts with Chevron and Air Products

The Chevron contract extension, worth £60 million over three years, continues Wincanton's seventeen-year association with Chevron

Wincanton will continue to operate the contract from Chevron's network of UK terminals, transporting more than nine billion litres of fuel over the lifetime of the agreement to Texaco-branded petrol stations across the UK

The Air Products deal, worth £52 million over three years, extends Wincanton's long-standing contract to carry bulk liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, liquid argon and hydrogen gas for the manufacturing industry and for the growing medical market, which includes hospitals and clinics

Sixty Wincanton-operated road tanker vehicles will deliver 80,000 tonnes of gas every month from seven Air Products terminals in the UK, making around 100 deliveries every day
