1. Who is Fermaca Global?
With 50 years of history, Fermaca Global is a
leading transporter of natural gas in Mexico, being
the only Mexican company in this industry.
Today we provide transportation services to one
of the key urban industrial areas in Central Mexico
and we are building the most important, privately
owned pipeline in the North, with interconnection

By combining a wide range of products and
services, including engineering, construction,
project management, and SCADA control, with
our know-how of the institutional and legal
framework of the Mexican economy, we can
guarantee long-term success in Mexico’s energy
market.
