The company distributes more than 1,000 chemical products — solvents, industrial chemicals, plasticizers, adhesives, and automotive fluids — through a network of 10 branches nationwide, anchored by a main plant in Tlalnepantla de Baz, Estado de México, that combines manufacturing, blending, and a 36,000 m³ tank storage plus 500-ton dry storage footprint. Its Fluix sub-brand supplies first-fill fluids (urea, antifreeze, windshield washer fluids, dilution and purge solvents) used in over 90% of vehicles assembled in Mexico.

The company operates three primary business units — Automotive, Industrial, and Oil & Gas — alongside a long tail of verticals including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, agrochemicals, personal care, home care, paints and coatings, and flexible packaging. Its go-to-market is sales-led via a team of 650+ technical specialists, quote-based pricing across multiple product presentations (tank trucks of 15–35 tons, steel/plastic barrels, and totes), and direct enterprise relationships through headquarters and branch offices. Custom formulation services are delivered through the Centro de Desarrollo Tecnológico ALVEG (CDTA), an in-house technology center offering ISO-9001-certified development from needs detection through after-sales support.

Alveg's customer mix is anchored by automotive OEMs (Mazda is the only publicly named customer and awarded Alveg its 2024 Proveedor de Excelencia recognition), with a wider distribution across more than 14 industry verticals served nationwide. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 across all 10 sites, ISO 14001:2015 and IATF 16949:2016 at the main plant, and a 2025 NMX-D-316-IMNC-2016 certification for Fluix automotive urea, forming a regulatory stack that supports OEM qualification cycles.
