FLUID HANDLING BRITISH SUCCESS STORY EMISSCO Emissco announces British business success with Premium Partner Yara UK bottling and distribution contract Emissco has won an Premium Partner contract with Yara, the world’s largest manufacturer of AdBlue®, to bottle and distribute its product for the UK and Ireland. Carrying out the bottling in-house, Emissco will deliver AdBlue® to retailers, garage forecourts, motor factors and repair shops. AdBlue® is a fluid that is injected into the exhaust gas stream, helping to turn harmful NOx emissions into nitrogen and oxygen. It is designed for diesel vehicles, from large commercial trucks to passenger cars. Yara is the world’s largest manufacturer of AdBlue®, with 17,000 employees and operations in over 60 countries turning over more than £10 billion. Yara has selected the expertise of Emissco, a leading manufacturer of fluids and aerosols, due to its filling machine and logistics capabilities in the UK. The business offers the capacity to produce 16-20 million litres of fluids a year, ideal for meeting the supply needs of the consumer market. Utilising its filling machines, Emissco will bottle Yara AdBlue® into millions of 10 litre branded containers during 2020. Emissco has developed its filling machines in-house, constructing them to clinical standards. Hoses and nozzles have been designed to operate reliably during the handling of the crystalline fluid. Using its pre-existing supply chain, Emissco will deliver AdBlue to both distribution centres and point of purchase across the UK and Ireland. A dedicated fleet of delivery vans ensures reduced lead times and fast reactions for stock resupply enabling customers to also operate with more efficient inventory and working capital. Mark Brickhill, CEO of Emissco, said: “We are delighted to be a premium bottling and distribution partner for Yara in the UK and Ireland. To be working with the world’s number one producer of AdBlue® really displays our capabilities in terms of filling machine capacity and logistical expertise. We have geared our business to provide contract services to leading fluid producers, as well as formulate and deliver our own products to the consumer market.
