OUR HISTORY

Celebrating 50 Years of Service!

Like many trade associations, NASM has served its membership by fostering relationships and offering a robust platform to advance the interests of its members within the industry. Along the way, NASM has evolved into an association specializing in catering to companies with wholesale supply contracts associated with Shell Oil, its licensees, or branded marketers.

NASM was originally incorporated in Georgia on July 19, 1974 as a nonprofit corporation. Originally known as the “Georgia-Florida Consignee’s Association, Inc.”, the Association adopted the name “National Association of Texaco Wholesalers, Inc.” on May 19, 1976. Subsequently, on May 10, 1999, the Association was expanded to include marketers of Shell petroleum products, and was reincorporated in Virginia as the “National Association of Texaco and Shell Marketers, Inc.” As the conversion from Texaco to Shell retail outlets progressed, the Association evolved into an exclusively Shell marketer organization, and on September 15, 2003, the Association changed its name to its current name, the “National Association of Shell Marketers, Inc.”
