Asfaltos de Guatemala (Asfalgua) was founded on March 3, 1961 by a group of expert engineers, familiar with the Guatemalan market at that time. Initially it was located in Los Cipresales, Zone 6, then it changed its location to Finca Las Charcas, Zone 11, where it is currently. At the time of the transfer there were seven workers, who installed the tanks and the first Asfalgua plant "screw by screw", together with the current president, who was the manager, salesman, delivery man, works manager, etc. The first work carried out was the production of asphalt emulsions and industrial products.

Subsequently, the company began to diversify and CIL (Comercial Impermeabilizadora limitada) was created , dedicating itself to the placement of a hot waterproofing system with a guarantee of up to 15 years, from this "we never got off a roof". This area diversified even more, with the placement of ceiling finishes, which have increased over time and currently four different types of ceilings are placed. 
Additionally, representation was obtained in Central America for the construction of asphalt-based sports fields and paints imported from the United States of the DecoTurf® brand , which are certified for all official tournaments worldwide, such as the Olympics and US Open, among others.
 20 years ago, the production of asphalt mixtures for road infrastructure was incorporated into the business. The idea of ​​this new operation was to sell mixes to private clients, but the opportunity arose to work for public entities such as the Ministry of Communications, the Municipality of Guatemala and Mixco . At present there are three plants for the manufacture of asphalt mixtures, in which different types and designs can be manufactured.
