Atlanta, Georgia - June 21, 2007 – FleetCor, the Global Fleet Card Company, announced today that it has acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest of CCS Slovakia through its subsidiary CCS in the Czech Republic.

FleetCor has obtained the remaining ownership interest from UTA a Germany-based fleet card company, CCS's previous partner in the venture.
