Recognizing Latin America as a strategic hub for global expansion, GTI/Rampmaster proudly welcomes Marcos Cajiao as the Director of Latin America Sales & Marketing. Marcos brings a wealth of expertise in the Latin American aviation, jet fuels, and petroleum markets, enabling him to facilitate the successful introduction of fuel-related products for U.S. companies in the region over several years. Since joining Rampmaster on May 1st, 2012, Marcos has played a pivotal role in solidifying Rampmaster’s dynamic brand presence and leveraging its 30-year heritage in the refueling industry within this new territory.

“In a short period of time, we’ve made huge progress! The response to our products and capability in the market so far has been incredible. Some of the most knowledgeable and influential industry executives have been extremely impressed with our product line, including EMS – in fact, out of all the product introductions I’ve undertaken in my career, this is the most impressed and excited a response I’ve ever seen from operators. We’ve received a lot of wow’s!”

According to Owen Watkins, Rampmaster’s vice president of Engineering and Production and lead developer of the EMS technical innovation, EMS allows the vehicle to consume up to 78% less of its diesel fuel while pumping.

“EMS allows the engine RPM to vary up and down depending on what the aircraft needs are, allowing the vehicle to consume up to 78% less of its diesel fuel while pumping. Those savings are extremely compelling for refueling operators in any country – no one has ever seen a product with such game-changing capabilities as this before.”

Despite the initial positive reception, Marcos emphasized the ongoing need for market education to fully comprehend the benefits of Rampmaster’s distinctive refueling solution.

“An innovation like EMS has never been seen before in Latin America – or anywhere. We are focused on making the market aware of the product, presenting the capability and educating on the unprecedented fuel savings, emissions reductions and automatic maintenance savings that can be realized.”

With this effort, Rampmaster hopes to have the first EMS-equipped refueling units in Latin America before the end of the year.

I’m very excited to join the team and to ‘stir the pot’ by placing this excellent innovation in the hands of refueling operators across Latin America.”
