Llamagas

What Llamagas does

Llamagas S.A. is a privately held Peruvian LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) distributor founded on 17 September 1977 in Lima, operating under two legal entities — Llamagas S.A. and its regional subsidiary Llamagas Pucallpa S.A. The company's core operations revolve around LPG packaging and nationwide distribution, executed through 9 strategically located packaging plants covering Peru's Costa (Naranjal/Lurín, Pisco, Trujillo, Piura), Sierra (Arequipa, Cusco), and Selva (Pucallpa, Rioja) regions, supported by an authorized distributor network, call center, WhatsApp ordering, and home delivery. Its product portfolio spans packaged cylinders (5kg, 10kg, 15kg, and 45kg, including a specialized 15kg Montacarga forklift cylinder), Combo bundles that attach regulators and accessories, technical accessories (Gastop safety valves, high- and low-pressure regulator kits, flexible hoses), and a bulk LPG enterprise service (Llamaplus) launched in 2019.

The company monetizes across two primary revenue streams: (1) packaged LPG retail via distributors and direct channels to households and small businesses, with cylinder sizes tailored to household (10kg is the flagship), semi-industrial (15kg), and high-consumption (45kg) use cases, plus the Montacarga M15 for forklift/industrial applications; and (2) GLP Granel bulk supply through the Llamaplus division to corporate and industrial clients in mining, hospitality, gastronomy, poultry farming, power generation, and government. Ancillary revenue comes from technical accessories and combos, and the Llamapuntos loyalty program (1 point per kg, 24-month validity) drives consumer retention. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by region, cylinder size, and customer segment. The 100% Peruvian-owned entity holds triple ISO certification (9001/14001/45001, audited by SGS in December 2019), operates no app or public API, and has no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or external institutional ownership.
