Database Project:
Compiled by Chris Woodyard, Times staff writer
Now that the oil is flowing again, a Kuwaiti agency has picked International Electronics System in Mission Viejo to develop a special database that will allow it to instantly check prices for additives and equipment.
An IES team handling the project will be based in London, the company said, where it can tie together Kuwait Petroleum International’s 13 international markets. The value of the project was not disclosed.
“KPI is a highly sophisticated, expanding global retailer with quality products and a respectable market share,” said Edgar J. Towers, president of IES. “We are very pleased by our selection over Europe’s largest firms.”
KPI operates gasoline stations, refineries and distribution outlets worldwide.
