Company Overview

Ultrapar Participações S.A. is a Brazilian holding company with operations focused on fuel distribution, liquefied petroleum gas and bulk liquid storage. The company traces its origins to 1937, when it was established as Companhia Brasileira de Gás a Domicílio, the predecessor of Ultragaz. Ultrapar’s American depositary shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol UGP.

Its principal businesses include Ipiranga, a fuel distribution company that supplies gasoline, ethanol, diesel and other fuels through a nationwide network of service stations. Ipiranga also operates convenience stores under the ampm brand and provides related automotive services. Ultragaz distributes liquefied petroleum gas to residential, commercial and industrial customers in Brazil.

Ultrapar also owns Ultracargo, which provides storage and handling services for liquid bulk products, including fuels, chemicals and other industrial materials. The company has historically operated in additional sectors, including chemicals through Oxiteno and pharmaceutical retail through Extrafarma, but it divested those businesses in the early 2020s as part of a portfolio-concentration strategy. Ultrapar’s current activities are primarily concentrated in Brazil.
