Smithfield, NC, February 27, 2026 — OPW Retail Fueling, a global leader in fluid handling solutions, will display advanced fueling system products at Booth 836 during the Southeast Petro-Food Marketing Exposition, March 4-5, at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center in South Carolina.
OPW Retail Fueling will showcase an array of fueling system products at the expo, including its new 71SO Segmented Overfill Prevention Valve, which provides the same trusted overfill protection as the original valve while eliminating shipping and storage challenges.
“We couldn’t be more excited to exhibit new, highly engineered fueling system products at this year’s Southeast Petro show,” said Ed Kammerer, Vice President of Global Product Marketing at OPW Retail Fueling.
“There is a tremendous industry boom in this region, right in our backyard, which enables us to get products out quickly from our factory in Smithfield, North Carolina. We’re here to support retail fuelers with the equipment they can count on to run a successful operation.”
Visitors to the OPW Retail Fueling booth will get a firsthand look at the 71SO Segmented Overfill Prevention Valve, designed to:
- Retain the breakthrough two-stage positive shut-off mechanism of the original OPW 71SO
- Allow for more compact packaging and easier transport due to the valve’s drop tube’s four 5'-long interlocking sections
- Eliminate shipping damage and overlength shipping fees
- Assemble quickly and easily during on-site installation without glue or epoxy
The 71SO Segmented Overfill Prevention Valve is easy to install without breaking concrete and is engineered to prevent UST overfill by providing a positive shut-off of product delivery.
“True excellence in engineering means understanding the challenges our customers face before the equipment arrives on-site,” Kammerer continued. “Reliable equipment performance is simply non-negotiable. That’s why we’re proud to provide the advanced dispensing, fuel containment and transfer products needed for the safe, efficient and environmentally compliant operation of retail fueling sites.”
In addition to the product exhibit, OPW will be introducing Eddie Kammerer, the newest District Manager for the region, at the show.
