Petronas' plan to have stations in Brazil – with a Rio Grande do Sul accent
Petronas has reached the mark of 200 fuel stations with its flag in the country – and the plan is to continue growing, taking advantage of the favorable winds that have been blowing in the sector. Just over two years ago, the company chose Brazil as the first market outside of Malaysia to enter the distribution business – a timing that would later prove to be spot on.
Petronas has reached 200 fuel stations in Brazil, with plans to continue growing. The company partnered with Argenta, a family-owned group from Rio Grande do Sul, to expand its presence in the country. The partnership, which began over two years ago, has allowed Petronas to leverage Argenta's existing network and expand to new regions, including São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and others.
The companies have created a new entity, NEXTA, to manage the Petronas brand in Brazil, and a survey shows that 44% of consumers recognize the Petronas brand. Argenta had a revenue of R$ 24 billion in 2025 and operates in various sectors, including fuel distribution, lubricants, and wine production.
