Zeta Gas

What Zeta Gas does

Zeta Gas, legally Gas del Caribe S.A. de C.V., is a private LP gas distribution company headquartered in Cancún, Quintana Roo, that has operated continuously since 1946 across southeastern Mexico. The company serves residential, commercial, hospitality, industrial, and vehicle-fleet customers in the states of Campeche, Chiapas, Quintana Roo, Veracruz, and Yucatán, with a stated reach of more than 40 million households, industries, and businesses. Its service portfolio is organized around five core channels: portable cylinder exchange/refill (10, 20, 30, 45 kg), residential stationary tank installation and scheduled refill, private piped gas service for businesses with 24/7 supply and monthly invoicing, autogas vehicle conversion and refueling through the GasAuto station network, and self-service GasAuto stations for direct cylinder refills across multiple cities.

Underlying the offering is a substantial physical distribution infrastructure — stationary tanks, portable cylinders, vehicle conversion systems, self-service refueling stations, and private business pipelines — supported by 5,001–10,000 employees, dedicated service centers (Centro de Servicio Central, Las Américas, Kinik, Centro Maya, Cozumel), and regional phone dispatch per state. The business operates under a regulated pricing model administered by Mexico's Comisión Reguladora de Energía (CRE), with end-customer prices published weekly. Distribution is executed through direct home/business delivery, scheduled refills, online ordering via the company website, WhatsApp ordering (currently available in Quintana Roo), service centers, and the self-service GasAuto station network. Ancillary revenue and retention mechanics include the Zeta Premia loyalty/sweepstakes program, electronic invoicing, and 40-day credit terms for commercial accounts.
