DRESSER WAYNE LAUNCHES VIP PROGRAM—RETAIL SOLUTION FOR FUEL MARKETING

Austin, Texas - Dresser Wayne®, a leader in the design and development of service station automation systems, has developed the VIP Program for the High Volume Retail (HVR) market. Wayne is a division of the Dresser Equipment Group, a business unit of Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL).

Pat Murray, president of Dresser Equipment Group, Inc. said: "Dresser Wayne's market leading position in providing fueling solutions for the HVR market has placed Wayne at the forefront of HVR innovations."

Working with AutoGas®, an HVR systems provider, Wayne developed the VIP program to enable retailers to tie in-store promotions to fuel pricing. In additional to offering coupons for discounts on packaged goods based on in-store purchases, the VIP program gives the retailer the option to offer fuel discounts in the form of bar-coded coupons that can be scanned at the fuel dispenser. Wayne's patent pending dispenser bar code scanner, Wayne SCAN, reads the coupon and discounts the price of the fuel based on the amount of the coupon. Wayne SCAN is capable of scanning loyalty cards and discount cards, as well as coupons.

Mike Zahajko, Wayne's Manager of New Business Development, commented, "We created this program in response to our customer's desire to leverage their fueling operations to increase customer loyalty and promote cross-merchandising opportunities."

Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Wayne has been providing innovative products and programs to the retail fuel equipment market for more than 100 years. The company's commitment to excellence is demonstrated in its full line of electronic dispensers, its Nucleus® integrated point-of-sale system, Wayne TRAC RFID system, Touch-N-Go® touch screen dispenser interface and Wayne SCAN patent pending bar code scanning at the pump.
