What Global Gas does
Global Gas (legal entity GAS GLOBAL CORPORATIVO, S.A. DE C.V.) is a privately held Mexican LPG (Gas LP) distributor founded in 1959 and headquartered in Guadalajara, Jalisco. The company sells, delivers, and supports liquefied petroleum gas through stationary tank refills, sealed 20kg and 30kg cylinders, and a network of company-owned Carburación stations for vehicle LPG refueling. Its operations span at least 15 Mexican states, supported by more than 98 plants and 5,001-10,000 employees, serving a base of more than 2.5 million households along with commercial, industrial, and agroindustrial customers.
The company's core technology layer is operational rather than software-centric: electronic control measurement systems provide quantity verification on every delivery, sealed cylinders guarantee content quality, and an "Intelligent Filling Cycle" (Ciclo de Surtido Inteligente) schedules large-volume replenishments for industrial accounts. In December 2022 Global Gas launched a mobile application for iOS and Android, with an accompanying self-serve web ordering portal, enabling online ordering, real-time delivery tracking, in-app customer support chat, scheduled deliveries, and a consumption history view. The company also offers engineering and technical advisory services for Gas LP installations to industrial customers.
Commercially, Global Gas operates a direct-to-consumer, pay-as-you-go model with unit pricing per cylinder or per stationary tank fill, payment collected on delivery in cash, debit, or credit depending on location, and prices quoted per market. Go-to-market is omnichannel: phone, WhatsApp, mobile app, and web portal, with localized regional contact infrastructure per state. The company was the first in Mexico's LPG sector certified by the Secretaría de Energía and reports 100% compliance with safety standards and electronic measurement controls. Affiliated operations include Corporación CH4 in Natural Gas and Tres Estrellas in Transportation, extending the platform into adjacent energy and logistics verticals.

- Grupo INFRA: Major Mexican industrial and medical gases distributor (oxygen, acetylene, specialty gases) operating nationally. Adjacent gas-distribution infrastructure with overlapping customer segments (industrial and commercial) but different core product mix.
- Messer Group: Privately held global industrial gas company with significant Americas operations including Mexico. Comparable bulk gas supply, cylinder distribution, and industrial customer relationships.
- Air Products and Chemicals: Global industrial gas major (NYSE: APD) with Mexican operations, supplying gases to industrial customers via on-site supply, pipeline, and bulk delivery — analogous bulk gas distribution infrastructure serving industrial buyers.

Regional players
