AMEXGAS

What AMEXGAS does

AMEXGAS (Asociación Mexicana de Distribuidores de Gas Licuado y Empresas Conexas A.C.) is a private Mexican civil association founded in 1965, headquartered in Mexico City, that represents liquefied petroleum gas (LPG/Gas L.P.) distributors and related enterprises at the national level. The organization operates as a membership-based industry association with its own legal personality and assets, integrating a significant share of Mexico's LPG distribution companies (Empresas Distribuidoras de Gas L.P.) and connected companies (Empresas Conexas) under a single collective voice before government authorities, standardization committees, and public institutions.

The association's core offerings are an integrated suite of member services rather than technology products. These include specialized legal, technical, and regulatory advisory on the L.P. Gas regulatory framework; a group civil liability insurance policy (Póliza Grupal de Responsabilidad Civil); daily industry information updates drawn from the Diario Oficial de la Federación; gestorías (administrative liaison services) in Mexico City; coordination of training programs and certification courses; and representation on regulatory bodies including Comités de Normalización and Technical Groups developing Mexican Official Standards (NOMs) such as NOM-018-ASEA-2023. AMEXGAS also publishes monthly industry bulletins (Boletines de la Industria) and operates its flagship annual event, Congreso GLP Amexgas, held at Centro Banamex in Mexico City.

The business model is a recurring subscription model funded exclusively by membership fees from LPG distribution companies and related enterprises. Revenue mechanics are individually negotiated and not publicly disclosed. AMEXGAS runs with a small staff (1-10 employees), a single office, and a community-led go-to-market approach centered on continuous, constructive engagement with authorities and active member participation in industry analysis and proposals. The association's strategic priorities, based on its recent advocacy, include pushing for liberalization of LP gas price caps, increasing distributor commercial margins (proposed from $3.97 to $7.50 MXN per kilogram), addressing supply intermittency from PEMEX, and publicly denouncing extortion threats against distributors in central Mexico.

• PEMEX (Petróleos Mexicanos)coreOthersPEMEX is Mexico's state-owned oil company and the primary supplier of L.P. Gas to AMEXGAS member distributors. The relationship is foundational to the industry: AMEXGAS members purchase L.P. Gas from PEMEX and distribute it to end consumers. AMEXGAS has publicly advocated for better supply conditions, noting issues with 'intermittency' in PEMEX distribution causing inventory shortfalls and margin compression for distributors. The association also participates in public consultations on PEMEX-related regulations.
