Few companies can say they've made history. Dover Fueling Solutions has been doing it for more than 135 years. Find out how DFS is connecting, innovating and evolving to shape what comes next for fuel retail and convenience.
Every company has a history. Some long, some short, some interesting, some mundane. But very few companies have a history of actually making history. That is of imagining and producing products and solutions that don’t just change an industry but change how people live their everyday lives.
There is probably not a motorist anywhere in the world that hasn’t, at some point, used a piece of equipment manufactured by Dover Fueling Solutions® (DFS), or our legacy brands, and this year we are proud to celebrate some significant milestones:
- 10 years of DFS
- 30 years of Fairbanks®
- 125 years of Tokheim®
- 135 years of Wayne®
That’s a lot of history. 300 years, in fact, of combined heritage, experience, and innovation packed into one company, not to mention progress, but each of these anniversaries represent more than just “time passed”. They stand for generations of individuals who have built, adapted, and reimagined what’s possible within our industry. They represent a legacy of craftmanship, innovation, and trust. One we will continue to shape together. These anniversaries are a reminder that everything we do today, builds on the work of those who came before us and sets the stage for what’s to come next.
It’s incredible to think about how much has changed over the years. But what hasn’t changed is the importance of people: the ideas, the partnerships, the conversations. That’s what really drives everything, including our business, forward.
Celebrating Our Evolving Legacy
As we celebrate these important anniversaries, we reflect on a heritage defined by unrivalled expertise, uncompromising quality, and trust earned over generations. Yet our legacy is not simply about where we have come from, it’s about how we have evolved, embracing innovation while staying true to the values that have always set our brands apart.
Today, that legacy continues to grow, informed by experience, inspired by what’s next, and driven to by an enduring commitment to excellence.
Connect
In this industry, experience carries weight. As the needs of the industry evolve, the knowledge we have built over several decades provides insight to what matters now and anticipate what comes next.
Our legacy is more than just history, it is the expertise, trust and proven understanding we bring to every challenge. We are a partner with the experience to deliver with confidence, the knowledge to evolve and the innovation to help shape the future of fuel retail. DFS is, and has always been, connected to our customers and our partners, to ensure we deliver the right products and solutions to meet their needs.
Today, we are connecting our legacy expertise with the modern needs of our customers, motorists, and the fuel retail and convenience industry.
Innovate
Legacy and innovation are not opposites; they are what has kept DFS and our brands relevant for more than 135 years. That experience gives us the knowledge to innovate with purpose, building on what we know, while never standing still.
Because for DFS innovation isn’t new. It’s been part of our DNA from the very beginning, and it’s what will continue to shape our future. We turn the knowledge and experience generated over the last century into technologies, services, and solutions that move the industry forward.
Evolve
For generations, DFS has evolved its brands, products and solutions alongside the changing needs of our customers and the industry.
Our Tokheim, Wayne, and Fairbanks brands embody decades of trust, quality, reliability, performance, and expertise, with each bringing a distinctive heritage and proven contribution to the fuel retail and convenience industry.
These brands have earned the trust of customers around the world and continue to set the foundations for what comes next. Their value is greater than the products they deliver; it’s the confidence of dependable performance, the efficiency of proven solutions, the depth of specialist expertise, and the long-term value created for our customers.
Evolution is intentional. We are helping our customers and the wider industry evolve, shaping the fuel retail experience today to meet the demands of consumers tomorrow.
This eBook is a reflection of the remarkable legacy that has brought us here and is dedicated to all past, present, and future DFS employees, partners, and customers.
