The Pemex franchise increases its presence in Mexico by having nearly 200 new service stations planned in the coming months. There are already 45 gas stations open between January and February, while the regulatory body has the authorization of 150 fuel dispensing points in the country.
This will allow this line of business of the state-owned productive company to reach almost 87 percent of the market, explained Miguel Yasser Vicente, coordinator of Transportation Fuel Marketing. Participating in the Synergy Forum 2024, he highlighted the recovery over the last three years after the boom caused by Mexican and foreign private brands.
"Our growth in recent years comes from opening new stations or bringing back some that have been rebranded. We went to different parts of the country to inaugurate new gas stations, between January and February there are 45; While waiting to be able to have permission from the regulatory body, we have around 150 planned to start operations in the coming months," he explained.
Within the Synergy Forum, he acknowledged the preference of regional private capital to use both the brand and the product. This allowed them to recover almost 20 percent of the gas stations previously in the hands of the competition, to place about 87 percent of the presence.
