P EMEX Procurement International , Inc . ( PPI )
began operating in 1994 as a company supplying Petróleos Mexicanos ( PEMEX ), Mexico ’ s largest company . PEMEX , a company that since its creation in 1938 has not ceased to adjust itself to the market ’ s changes and to the country ’ s current political and social climate , formed PPI with the purpose of establishing a closer presence in the international energy industry and developing a direct relationship with key suppliers . From 2017 , PPI began a process of change that aims to reinforce the company ’ s operations based on three pillars : increasing operations , improving customer service , and strengthening the management of the business , which includes implementing an Integral Compliance System ( Compliance ). Salvador Escobedo gives us the keys to this transformation that began with his naming as CEO .
With a successful career in the financial sector behind him , Escobedo has worked in financial integration projects for the least favored social sectors at the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit and at the Ministry of Social Development of the Mexican Government , as well as at the Mexican Institute of Social Security , an institution whose finances he helped to recover
