Brief History
In 1998, the Ty family braved the LPG industry targeting the Cagayan Valley Region (Region II) as its main market. As business progressed, a network that spanned around 85% of the region has been established. Providing quality LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) across the Island of Luzon, the company expanded its operations and built more refilling plants in the National Capital Region, Region I, Region III, and Region IV-A.
SPI’s terminal is strategically situated in a multi-hectare Industrial Park located at Calaca, Batangas – an ideal and strategic location due to the deep portions of Balayan Bay and its own port capable of handling Very Large Gas Carrier (VLGC) with up to 14 meters draft or up to 55,000 deadweight tonnage (DWT).
With over eight (8) years of operation, SPI is one of the fastest-growing LPG companies in the Philippines. To date, it is continuously expanding in the Visayas and Mindanao regions in its commitment to constantly provide quality LPG products as well as to render the most efficient service to our customers in our pledge to be the leader in the gas industry by exceeding customer needs with the highest standards of safety and quality.

On the other hand, another terminal in Central Luzon has been opened. Located at San Simon, Pampanga Industrial Zone is SPI North Hub – with a 300MT storage capacity.
