Brazilian Consumers Start Receiving Kitchen Gas (LPG) From Argentina at Their Tables Through Copagaz

Copagaz signed an agreement to become the first private distributor in Brazil to import kitchen gas, or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), by ship in partnership with Transportadora de Gas del Sur (TGS) from Argentina. The expectation of Brazilians is that this new acquisition will lower the price of kitchen gas.

The importation of kitchen gas from Argentina to Brazil reflects changes in the Brazilian fuel market, as the state-owned company Petróleo Brasileiro, known as Petrobras, sells assets and reduces its dominance in the country.

Copagaz, the largest kitchen gas distributor in Brazil, will purchase 7,600 tons of LPG in three shipments for delivery between April 8 and May 1 at the Tergasul terminal in Rio Grande do Sul, said the company’s vice president of operations, Agnaldo Inojosa.

Even in 2019, when the largest company in the liquefied natural gas segment in Brazil decided to acquire Liquigás, it had already negotiated with Bolivia regarding truck importation.

In 2019, Copagaz signed a contract for the importation of 72,000 tons of kitchen gas per year. Now that the company has significant partnerships with Argentina and Bolivia, it has decided not to stop there and intends to capture more of the Brazilian LPG market in the coming years.

About the Company

Considered a family-run business, Copagaz is known for its operations and sales in the LPG distribution sector.

The company, which became the leader in kitchen gas or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) distribution, was founded around 1955 in the Campo Grande region (MS). Copagaz ended up being one of the first companies at that time to distribute one ton of LPG daily in the regions of Mato Grosso do Sul, São Paulo, and Mato Grosso.

Currently, the company has a total of 15 business units concerning bottling, 2 units to distribute and serve the public, 1 station for resale, 9 units to store bulk LPG, and finally, a network to serve residences and businesses.

With this extensive distribution network, Copagaz manages to distribute an average of over 50 million LPG to homes, shopping centers, and much more.
