TATSUNO EUROPE

What TATSUNO EUROPE does

TATSUNO EUROPE a.s. is a privately held Czech joint-stock company (akciová společnost) that designs, manufactures, and distributes precision fuel dispensing equipment for petrol stations and fleet refueling facilities. Founded in 1993 and operating from the Czech Republic, the company produces two principal dispenser families — the premium OCEAN series (Tower, Hero, Smart variants) and the value-oriented SHARK series (Island, Junior, Economy) — plus the TATCON standalone AdBlue container line. The portfolio covers gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, E85, LPG, CNG, AdBlue, windshield washer fluid, and emerging hydrogen applications, with stated measurement accuracy of ±0.3% for liquid fuels, ±0.15% for AdBlue, and ±1.5% for CNG, and modular configurations of 1–4 hoses per dispenser side.

The company's underlying technology combines Japanese TATSUNO hydraulic components with proprietary electronic counting systems (PDEX5, TBELTM), Coriolis mass flow meters (Endress-Hauser CNGmass, Micro Motion CNG050) for CNG applications, AES 128-encrypted pulse transmission, and Modbus diagnostic connectivity. Equipment is certified to ISO 9001:2015 (audited annually by TÜV Management Servis GmbH since 2000, with a Certificate of Excellence awarded in 2016), ATEX for explosive atmospheres (monitored by Fyzikálně technický zkušební ústav, FTZÚ), and the EU Measuring Instruments Directive (audited by Český metrologický institut, ČMI), with additional OIML and TCM metrology certifications. In 2024 the company joined the NAHYC-m national hydrogen mobility project (sub-task TN02000007-008), co-developing fast hydrogen filling technology exceeding 60 g H2/s, funded by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TAČR).

TATSUNO EUROPE generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of dispensers, containers, and accessories (nozzles, hoses, payment terminals, spare parts), supplemented by installation, maintenance, and repair services executed by SPEED CZECH SERVICE s.r.o. in the Czech Republic and authorized representatives in other European markets. Go-to-market is event-driven around three annual trade shows — UNITI EXPO (Stuttgart), Oil&NonOil (Verona), and STACJA PALIW (Warsaw) — with quote-based sales, no public pricing, and no disclosed revenue, headcount, or ownership figures. Active geographic markets include the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, and Poland.

Direct peers

• Scheidt & Bachmann: German manufacturer of fuel station systems including dispensers, payment terminals and forecourt controllers. Comparable European competitor with overlapping dispenser product lines and EU-focused service network.
• Franklin Fueling Systems: US-headquartered manufacturer of fuel dispensing and management systems serving petrol stations globally. Comparable offering in multi-product dispensers and forecourt control equipment.
• Gilbarco Veeder-Root: Global leader in fuel dispensers and forecourt technology, owned by Fortive. Directly competes with TATSUNO EUROPE in gasoline, diesel, CNG and alternative fuel dispensers across European and global markets.
• Piusi: Italian manufacturer of fluid handling equipment including fuel dispensers, AdBlue pumps and transfer systems. Directly competes in European markets, especially for diesel, oil and AdBlue applications where TATSUNO also sells.
• Dover Fueling Solutions: Provider of fuel dispensers (Wayne, Tokheim) and forecourt equipment serving the same petrol station operator base as TATSUNO EUROPE. Direct head-to-head competitor in multi-fuel and alternative fuel dispenser categories.
• Tokheim (Dover): Long-established European fuel dispenser brand, now part of Dover Fueling Solutions. Direct competitor in LPG, CNG and conventional fuel dispensers with deep European installed base.

Emerging players

• Beijing Sanki Petroleum Technology: Chinese manufacturer of fuel dispensers, CNG and LNG equipment with growing international footprint. Competes on cost in emerging markets and increasingly in Eastern Europe where TATSUNO is active.
