About Us

CTPMA is an independent member-supported association of retail, lubricants, and wholesale fuel marketers. Founded over 25 years ago as the Chevron Petroleum Marketers Association, it became CTPMA in 2004 with the addition of the Texaco brand.

CTPMA exists to create a forum whereby marketers can exchange ideas, best practices and suggestions among themselves and with supplier management on issues that can positively affect the marketer channel. CTPMA believes that communications and positive relations between marketers and its suppliers are essential to ensure that marketers have the maximum opportunity possible to out-perform the competition in the marketplace. By learning from each other, CTPMA members can increase their chances of business success.
