A company with a global energy vision
In a world where energy is the engine of the economy, having strategic partners that guarantee the safe and efficient supply of fuels is essential. CIAMSA (Commerce i am S.A.) was born with that mission: to be the bridge between international oil markets and Guatemala's energy needs.
With commercial operations spanning from crude oil imports to the distribution of refined products, CIAMSA has positioned itself as a key player in the country's energy value chain.
What does CIAMSA do?
CIAMSA operates across multiple segments of the petroleum and energy industry:
- Import and export of crude oil and refined products
- Commercialization of diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, bunker and LPG
- Distribution of fuels nationally and internationally
- Packaging and storage of liquefied petroleum gas
- Processing of industrial oils and lubricants
This diversification allows CIAMSA to offer comprehensive solutions to industrial, commercial and government clients.
Our business holding
CIAMSA doesn't operate alone. It is part of a strategic business group that includes companies specialized in different areas of the energy and logistics sector:
- CIAMSA — International petroleum and derivatives commercialization
- Logística Dos Mares — Transportation and logistics for construction materials and fuels
- CUPA Shipping LLC — International maritime transport
- CUPA Logistics LLC — Global logistics and supply chain

Values that define us
CIAMSA's success is built on three pillars:
Integrity
Every operation is conducted with transparency and professional ethics. From negotiations with international suppliers to compliance with local regulations, integrity guides every decision.
Quality commitment
The fuels we commercialize meet the highest international quality standards. Every batch undergoes rigorous quality controls before distribution.
Sustainability
We recognize our responsibility to the environment. That's why we constantly work to optimize processes to reduce our environmental footprint and promote responsible energy practices.
Impact in Guatemala
Guatemala imports the vast majority of fuels it consumes. This means companies like CIAMSA play a fundamental role in:
- Ensuring continuous supply of fuels across the territory
- Stabilizing prices through an efficient supply chain
- Creating jobs directly and indirectly in the energy sector
- Driving investment in logistics and storage infrastructure
- Strengthening international trade relationships
"We don't just move fuel — we move Guatemala's economy forward."
Looking to the future
The energy sector is constantly evolving. Oil prices fluctuate, regulations change, and the energy transition poses new challenges. CIAMSA prepares for this future through:
- Technology investment to optimize logistics operations
- Product diversification including LNG and biodiesel
- Regional expansion into new Central American markets
- Constant monitoring of the international commodities market
