GAZ

What GAZ does

GAZ (legal entity Combustibles Líquidos de Colombia S.A. E.S.P.) is a Colombian distributor of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG/propane) operating since 2007 from its headquarters in Bogotá. The company distributes propane gas in portable cylinders for residential and small commercial use, and in stationary tanks for larger-volume customers, with active operations spanning 10 Colombian departments: Antioquia, Boyacá, Caldas, Cauca, Quindío, Cundinamarca, Meta, Risaralda, Tolima, and Valle del Cauca. The company operates as a regulated public services entity (S.A. E.S.P.) with ISO 9001:2015 certification valid through 2027.

The core product offering is LPG distribution, but the company has built a verticalized product ecosystem around it. This includes gas-powered cooking appliances (stoves, BBQs), agricultural productivity solutions (chicken brooder heaters, greenhouse heaters, grain dryers, animal processing and cleaning systems), industrial applications (ceramics, glass, brick manufacturing, CHP systems, forklifts), comfort solutions (pool and jacuzzi heaters, water heaters, fireplaces, hot air balloons), and residential network infrastructure projects (conjuntos residenciales, remote locations). The company serves five primary customer segments: households, local businesses (restaurants, BBQ establishments, bakeries, retail stores), agricultural/industrial productivity operations, comfort/hospitality applications, and industrial sector projects.

The business model combines direct LPG distribution with a multi-channel go-to-market approach: (1) direct delivery of cylinders and stationary tanks to end customers, (2) a network of retail distribution allies (aliados de distribución minorista) serving SMB and consumer markets, and (3) company-owned wholesale depots and bottling plants (plantas de envasado) supplying the distribution network. Pricing is publicly disclosed as required by Colombian Resolution 080-2019, and the company maintains direct customer engagement through WhatsApp ordering, dedicated phone lines, and a content marketing blog. The organization employs between 251 and 500 people. Revenue figures, ownership structure, and management team composition are not disclosed in the available data.
