ExxonMobil to Open First Mobil Stations in Mexico

ExxonMobil Corporation has partnered with a retailer Grupo Arsan to open eight Mobil-branded service stations in Queretaro as part of the company’s entry in Mexico’s fuels market. ExxonMobil plans to open 50 Mobil stations in the Bajio region by the end of the first quarter of 2018.

ExxonMobil is the first company to fully leverage Mexico’s new energy model and provide an integrated product offering along the entire fuels value chain. The new Mobil-branded stations will be operated by Grupo Orsan and supplied with gasoline and diesel produced by ExxonMobil’s refineries in Texas.

Fuels will be distributed by rail through two private fuels terminals located in San Luis Potosi and San Jose Iturbide. This is part of ExxonMobil’s long-term commitment to invest $300 million in fuels logistics, product inventories and marketing in Mexico over the next 10 years.

With the introduction of Mobil-branded stations and Synergy-branded fuels in Mexico, ExxonMobil is presenting a breakthrough forecourt and our most advanced fuel formulations. ExxonMobil’s Synergy product line increases engine-cleaning power, helping improve engine performance, responsiveness and fuel economy compared to gasoline meeting minimum Mexican government standards. The fuels will be marketed as Mobil Synergy Supreme+, Mobil Synergy Extra and Mobil Synergy Diesel.

“The opening of these first eight Mobil service stations, made possible by Mexico’s new energy policy regime, is a significant milestone for the country and our company. We look forward to helping meet the country’s growing demand for energy with a reliable supply of high-quality fuels and a positive customer experience,” said Carlos Rivas, fuels director for ExxonMobil Mexico.

“Orsan’s partnership with ExxonMobil will increase our competitiveness in the fully deregulated fuels market, supported by a globally prestigious brand like Mobil and a unique marketing offer designed to attract consumers,” said Carlos Sandoval, CEO of Grupo Orsan.
