What Tokheim does
Tokheim is a UK-headquartered (Dundee) provider of fuel dispensing and payment technology solutions, operating as a subsidiary brand within Dover Fueling Solutions (DFS), itself part of Dover Corporation (NYSE: DOV). Its core technology asset is the Tokheim OASE payment gateway, a modular platform that processes over 250 card types and integrates payment acceptance across point-of-sale systems, outdoor payment terminals, fuel dispensers, and EV charging stations. The May 2026 launch of DFS Crypto NOVA, which leverages OASE as its payment backbone, extends Tokheim's scope into a unified, multi-energy forecourt payment fabric.
The company serves fuel station operators and convenience retailers requiring seamless, multi-channel payment experiences, addressing documented consumer demand for pay-at-pump and contactless options (66% of European customers prefer pay-at-pump; 75% of UK consumers favor contactless). Tokheim does not market or distribute on a standalone basis; instead, its products reach customers through DFS's established distributor network and field service support across North America, plus direct engagement in European markets where the legacy Tokheim dispenser brand is recognized.
The business model is industrial B2B rather than transactional: revenue derives from hardware sales (dispensers, payment terminals), integrated payment platform licensing via DFS, and aftermarket service through DFS's technical support infrastructure. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the company does not publish revenue figures as a non-listed subsidiary. A 2012 private equity round of approximately $100.8 million (Fonds Stratégique d'Investissement and Motion Equity Partners) indicates a previously independent entity that has since been folded into the Dover corporate structure.

Tokheim competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- NCR Voyix: NCR Voyix supplies POS and payment technology broadly across retail and hospitality, including fuel and convenience retail. Comparable as a broader incumbent whose POS/payment stack intersects with Tokheim OASE at the convenience retail and outdoor terminal level, though it does not specialize in fuel dispensers.
Direct peers
- Franklin Fueling Systems: Franklin Fueling Systems manufactures petroleum equipment including dispensers, tank gauges, and pipework for fuel stations. It is comparable to Tokheim's adjacent DFS brands (ProGauge, OPW) and overlaps on dispenser and forecourt infrastructure sold to the same retailer base.
- Gilbarco Veeder-Root: Gilbarco is a major fuel dispensing and payment solutions provider (owned by Fortive), offering dispensers, POS, and outdoor payment terminals for fuel retailers. It competes head-to-head with Tokheim/DFS for the same forecourt payment and dispenser modernization RFPs globally.
- Bennett Pump: Bennett Pump is a US-based fuel dispenser manufacturer with decades of heritage, serving convenience retailers with mechanical and electronic dispensers and pay-at-pump terminals. Comparable to Tokheim as a regional dispenser OEM competing on installed base and service network.
- Scheidt & Bachmann: Scheidt & Bachmann provides fuel retail and parking technology, including pay-at-pump terminals, forecourt controllers, and EMV payment solutions across Europe. Strongly comparable as a European-headquartered payment/dispenser technology supplier directly competing for the same retail fuel customers as Tokheim.
- Tatsuno Corporation: Tatsuno is a Japanese fuel dispenser and petroleum equipment manufacturer serving gas stations and commercial fuel sites with dispensers, meters, and forecourt systems. It is comparable to Tokheim as a long-established dispenser OEM with payment and metering capabilities, primarily serving APAC rather than Europe.
- Wayne Fueling Systems: Wayne is Tokheim's sibling fuel dispenser brand under Dover Fueling Solutions, selling dispensers, payment terminals, and EV chargers (Wayne PWR). It is the closest direct comparator because both brands serve fuel retailers with overlapping dispenser and outdoor payment terminal product lines.
- OPW (a Dover brand): OPW is a Dover-owned brand specializing in fluid handling, nozzles, and forecourt hardware, sitting within the same DFS parent as Tokheim. It competes and co-sells into the same fueling infrastructure customers, making it a sibling-peer for forecourt hardware and payment adjacencies.
Emerging players
- PDI (Professional Datasolutions): PDI provides back-office, loyalty, and payments software for fuel and convenience retailers. It overlaps with Tokheim OASE on the payment processing and software layer for forecourt retail, though it does not sell dispensing hardware.
- Invenco by GK: Invenco (now part of GK) provides outdoor payment terminals and EMV-compliant retrofit solutions for fuel retailers. Comparable to Tokheim OASE as a focused pay-at-pump and outdoor payment hardware/software vendor targeting dispensers and EV charging.
