Arizona Petroleum Marketers Association (APMA)

The Arizona Petroleum Marketers Association (APMA) was formed in 1967 to serve the common regulatory, legislative, and educational needs of businesses engaged in the distribution of wholesale fuel, retail fuel, and lube oils. Concerned business owners realized more could be accomplished by working together than individually.

Our members are leaders in the industry. Through the past 45 years they have successfully met the challenges of evolving marketing concepts and endured extensive changes in state and federal regulations. The ability of the association’s leadership to recognize the ever-evolving nature of their industry and their willingness to change along with it are responsible in large part for the continued success of the organization.

One of the largest state trade associations of its kind, this 120+ member organization represents petroleum marketers and operators who own, operate, or supply approximately 850 service stations and other retail motor fuel outlets in Arizona. Collectively, these petroleum marketers supply billions of gallons of fuel and tons of related products annually to Arizonans. These businesses provide fuel and lubricants to the vast majority of commercial end users, including farmers, construction firms, and local and state governments. In addition, APMA associate members represent all of the diverse fields associated with the petroleum distribution system and convenience store industry.
