Brenntag, the leading
international chemical
distribution company
took a keen presence in
the Forecourt Show,
which was run
simultaneously at the
NEC alongside the CV
Show. As the company is
one of the main
distributors of AdBlue on
the world stage,
Commercial Tyre
Business took some time
to talk to Sean Cole from
Brenntag about their
product range and the
new launches on display
at the Forecourt Show.
Brenntag’s presence at
the show was
predominantly to
promote their new
dispensing systems for
2017 and the company saw the trade fair as the ideal opportunity to launch their new 4 litre AdBlue canister and Customer Operated Self Service Unit.
The new AdBlue canister is a non- drip dispensing pack that will

deliver sufficient levels of AdBlue for 4,000km of driving. The canister is fully recyclable, is suitable for all types of vans and cars and is easy to use. The Customer Operated Self Service Unit is a plug-in self- standing dispensing unit that is
suitable for forecourts or private businesses. The unit has a contactless operation and allows users to fill up according to a timer, which delivers a lower footprint and cost. The unit also requires almost no installation and is adaptable for multiple AdBlue storage types.
Sean Cole told Commercial Tyre Business, “"The COSSU has been really well received by visitors to the Show, and Brenntag will be installing one at its Head Office in Leeds to enable our own staff to benefit from it"
