Our participation in the Automechanika Trade Fair in Frankfurt this September was an overwhelming success!

The Automechanika show is a world-wide auto-trade exhibition with shows held throughout the calendar at various locations across the globe... The show this year attracted over 150,000 business and professional visitors, some of which we had the pleasure of showing our product to for the first time.

We thank all that made the event possible for us, the organisers of Automechanika, but most importantly, the countless visitors who expressed a passionate interest in FLATCAN. During the event, we met some great individuals from some fine organisations.

Subsequently, we are now in talks with potential major distribution partners with a view to establishing distribution networks within the following regions;

Australia, Austria, Canada, Channel Islands, Caribbean, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Malaysia, N. Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, S. Africa, Singapore, Slovenia,Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Ukraine, United States of America, Yemen...

These various deals, once consolidated, are set to place FLATCAN firmly into European and ROW markets, starting primarily with petrol stations, supermarket chains, the DIY, car/-care and hyper markets and then filtering into specialised areas such as motor bike, boating, camping, and aid relief foundations. In most cases we have been approached for exclusive deals which we will proudly announce in due course. We particularly look forward to seeing Flatcan printed in various languages throughout the world.

The Frankfurt show also allowed us the direct feedback from potential buyers from many sectors other than just for fuel carriage. Having gauged exceptional interest in various FLATCAN ‘off-shoot’ product possibilities, FLATCAN ‘WATER’, and the suggested use of Flatcan for the transportation of dispensed fluids other than fuel, the endless possibilities of Flatcan became obvious. We are now actively developing a full range of the ‘Flatcan concept’, primarily ‘Water’, as well as various other customised uses.

Watch this space for further developments as they arise.

We are pleased to announce the arrival of a new, unique product idea to the UK and European market. The first ever collapsible fuel can. The FLATCAN!

This is a clean, efficient, reliable, ‘mess-free’ and 100% recyclable, disposable fuel container.

Our extensive market research exercise, conducted prior to our entry in the EU and UK markets, in January 2006, has shown that both end users and retailers find the present alternatives (in the form of plastic and metal containers) to be bulky and potentially hazardous if stored inside a vehicle. They may leak, smell or drip, and very importantly, they take up valuable space (both in the car and on the shelf). Most times, they end up being left behind in the garage, shed or cupboard, so that they are never there when you need them.
