The Kentucky Petroleum Marketers Association (KPMA), founded in 1926, is a statewide, nonprofit trade association. It is made up of representatives of all segments of the petroleum industry to promote the interest and goodwill of everyone engaged in the marketing and distribution of petroleum products in the State of Kentucky. KPMA represents over 300 active and associate members. Our active members own or supply over 3,000 retail fueling facilities (c-stores, service stations, truckstops, cardlocks and marinas) in Kentucky. The association keeps its members current on petroleum and related industry news and reports, developments in the industry and state and national government, and forecasts of trends and changes that affect petroleum marketing.
