The owners of Sweden-based Ageratec, which manufactures biodiesel fuel and equipment, have their eyes on Fayetteville as a potential new site.

Company founders Gert and David Frykerås, father and son, opened up shop in Sweden in 1996. Since then the two have expanded their business to more than 60 locations in 20 countries, including four locations in the United States. David Frykerås said there's a chance Fayetteville could be the fifth location.
