Message from the President – Yasuhiro Tamai
Kagla Vaportech was founded by my father, Kaoru Tamai as a plant engineering company, during the early days of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) industry. Under the leadership of my elder brother, Kenichi Tamai, who succeeded as the second President, the company established itself as Japan’s leading manufacturer of vaporizers.
In 2028, Kagla Vaportech will proudly celebrate its 70th anniversary.
Since joining Kagla Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in 1989, I have gained extensive experience across various roles, including assignments at the Arima Plant, in domestic and international sales, and as General Manager of our local subsidiary in China.
As we approach this important milestone, I have assumed the role of President of Kagla Vaportech, with a deep sense of responsibility to carry on the legacy and aspirations of both Kaoru Tamai and Kenichi Tamai.
Over the years, we have faced a number of challenges, including the global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks to the unwavering support of our valued customers and the dedication of our employees, our business performance has remained stable and on a path of steady growth. I extend my sincere appreciation to all those who have contributed to our success.
Last year, we launched a new initiative under the banner of “Team Management,” aiming to foster a more open, collaborative, and transparent organizational culture. We are committed to creating an environment where every employee feels empowered to express their ideas freely and constructively.
Moving forward, we will continue to engage sincerely with our customers, striving to build even stronger relationships of trust and to remain a company that contributes meaningfully to society.
Thank you for your continued support.

WHO WE ARE – Kagla Vaportech Corporation

KAGLA VAPORTECH CORPORATION was established in 1958 as a small manufacturer of LPG manual pumps. Since then, our unremitting efforts have made us widely recognized as a leading manufacturer of the vaporizers for LPG, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), and Ammonia gas (NH3).
History of more than 60 years has earned us a reputation of being one of the most experienced LPG vaporizer manufacturer in the world. Through continuous research and development over the years, “KAGLA” brand has grown to be a symbol of durability, reliability and safety.
As for overseas business, we were among the first to expand overseas from Japan. Now we also have a manufacturing base in Shanghai, China.
We have been catering for the demands of small and niche field that are hard for the big enterprises to deal with. As a result, our sales network extends to more than 50 countries today.
While environment issues have become a common global concern, rapid increase of energy demand among developing countries and sense of distrust to nuclear power plants have made the situation further complicated. In this energy diversified era, we foresee the role of LPG as a major source of clean energy. And therefore, we wish to contribute to its further growth.
