Vapar's history

Vapar was founded in January 2018 by two Australian engineers on a mission to automate manual tasks in asset management.

Today, the Vapar platform processes over two hundred thousand metres of wastewater infrastructure for dozens of clients across Australia, New Zealand, United States and the UK.

Since its establishment, Vapar has received over $1.2 million in funding from the Australian Government, NSW Government, and some of Australia’s most ambitious investors.
