ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 11, 2012-- FleetCor Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FLT), a global leader in providing fuel card and workforce payment products to businesses, today announced that it successfully completed its previously announced acquisition of CTF Technologies, Inc. (“CTF”) for $180 million.

CTF provides fuel payment processing services for over-the-road fleets, ships, mining equipment, and railroads in Brazil. CTF’s payment platform links together fleet operators, two of the largest Brazilian banks, Bradesco and Itau, and the two largest Brazilian oil companies, Petrobras and Ipiranga.
