Kaz, Inc. is a Marlborough, Massachusetts–based manufacturer and distributor of health care products.

History

Max Katzman[1] invented the first electric vaporizer (original U.S. patent no. 1,628,784, issued May 17, 1927) and, in 1926, he founded Kaz, Incorporated to manufacture and market it.[2][3]

The expansion of the company – from a family business to a company designing, developing and marketing hundreds of healthcare and home environment products worldwide – came through research and development, acquisitions and licensing agreements.[4]

For more than 80 years, members of the Katzman family owned and managed Kaz. In 1956, founder Lawrence (Larry) Katzman succeeded his father, founder Max Katzman.[5] In addition to serving as Kaz’ second CEO, Larry was also a Palma d’Oro winning cartoonist best known for drawing Nellie Nifty, RN for a series of books and greeting cards.[6][7] Richard Katzman succeeded his father, Larry, as CEO in 1997.[5][8]

In 2006, Julien Mininberg became Kaz, Inc.’s first President outside the Katzman family. He became CEO in 2010.[5][8] Helen of Troy acquired Kaz, Inc. in 2010, and it continues to operate as a subsidiary.[4] Julien Mininberg remained the company's CEO until 2014, when he was appointed CEO of Helen of Troy.[9]
