SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine -- 

WEX Inc., a leading provider of global payments solutions, and ARI, a leading global fleet services provider specializing in complex car and truck fleets, today celebrate 25 years of collaborative fuel spend solutions.

ARI has been a strategic partner with WEX since 1993, the second-ever co-brand partner in WEX’s history. In 2017, ARI signed a five-year global contract extension, extending its WEX co-branded fuel card.

“Since day one ARI has been a partner that pushes us with an eye towards the future,” said Bernie Kavanagh, senior vice president and general manager of large fleet for WEX. “ARI is always looking to test and adopt new technologies or platforms, and we look forward to the continued success of this business model and partnership, bringing end-to-end fleet solutions to our joint customers across the globe.”

In February 2018, ARI was the first FMC to announce rollout of the WEX Millennium platform, offering access to real-time authorization data, increased control over transactions, and the ability to create multiple fuel profiles with different parameters.

"WEX has been a long-time strategic partner for ARI and we are excited to continue our relationship," said Frank Carbone, Vice President, Global Product Management for ARI. "Our partnership with WEX enables ARI to deliver innovative fuel solutions to help our customers become more efficient and reduce costs. Our recent rollout of the WEX Millennium platform is providing our clients more flexibility and added fuel controls, and it has strengthened our value proposition to our customers."
