# Top 50 chemical companies in Mexico

Tamtam tracks 89 chemical companies headquartered in Mexico. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by PEMEX, Cemex and Ternium. Their median headcount is 675. Half of them were founded in 1962 or later. The most common headquarters are Monterrey (9), Mexico City (8) and San Pedro Garza García (5).

These chemical companies in Mexico include large, established groups. PEMEX operates in oil and gas, Cemex specializes in cement and building materials, and Ternium is a major steel producer. Other notable firms include Mexichem, a global supplier of industrial solutions, Comex in coatings, and Vitro in glass products. These companies collectively represent a significant portion of Mexico's industrial output.

A notable pattern among these companies is their headquarters distribution. Mexico City hosts several major players like PEMEX, Mexichem, Comex, and Penoles Industries. Monterrey and nearby San Pedro Garza García and Santa Catarina also form a significant hub, housing Cemex, Ternium, Vitro, Grupo AlEn, and Grupo GONHER. This indicates a concentration of industrial activity in these two key regions.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
