The Canadian Independent Petroleum Marketers As-
sociation (CIPMA) serves as the backbone of Cana-
da’s fuel distribution and marketing industry, giving
a voice to the sector over the past 17 years. Its mem-
bers distribute everything from heating oil, gasoline
and diesel to propane, aviation fuel and renewable
fuels to various industries across the country.
Starting in 1996, the CIPMA really started to create a
collective voice in a marketplace that had long been
dominated by refineries that had marketing arms.
“The association came to be the voice of the coun-
try’s small and medium sized fuel marketers, who
have different interests and concerns than those
who are manufacturing the products and also sell-
ing it,” explains Tricia Anderson, President and CEO
of CIPMA.
