Clean Solutions, a division of Donaldson Company, Inc., announce a strategic alignment with Ryder Fuel Services to provide end-user customers with services that complement their bulk filtration products.

"We have had a gap in our ability to provide a turnkey solution," said Scott Grossbauer, Global Director – Donaldson Clean Fuel & Lubricant Solutions. "Oftentimes, our customers are convinced of the need for clean fuel and are ready to move forward with a Donaldson system, but aren't covered by an existing Donaldson distributor. With Ryder Fuel Services, we are able to provide not only the filters, but also the services to get the system up and running."

Ryder Fuel Services (RFS), based in Houston, Texas, provides end-to-end fuel management, centralizing the supervision of key site-fueling information through automated fuel management processes, ensuring that the customer maintains consistent site operations. It's their first priority to keep clients' fueling sites operational, compliant and profitable. Ryder Fuel Services offers four complementary services that work together to provide the customer with the greatest benefit, maximizing profitability and improving operating efficiencies:

• Fuel Management
• Alarm/Service Management
• Compliance Management
• Project Management

"We see a lot of benefit in forming a strategic alliance with Donaldson," stated Pete Cochefski, Managing Director, Ryder Fuel Services. "Providing effective preventive maintenance, to include tank-cleaning and enhanced filtration is key to providing best-in-class fuel quality. We believe that Donaldson filtration systems will deliver maximized operating efficiencies, relative to clean fuel, as well as site profitability, which are immediate benefits to be realized by any industry fleet."

"We are very excited for this new alignment with Ryder Fuel Services," added Grossbauer. "Now when we propose a Clean Fuel Solutions system, customers can also receive tank cleaning, full installation, and a host of ongoing service options depending on the end-user's needs.This puts both Donaldson and Ryder Fuel Services in a much better position to be strategic resources when it comes to ensuring that our customers are using clean fuel to Achieve More."
