Our Story
HERMIT GAS is a small family-owned and operated LPG company based in the Philippines. It all started when Spouses Architect Herminio Tan & Jocelyn Tan, both University professors, saw the growing need of the community for quality yet affordable petroleum products. Without any business experience, the couple took the risk and started the business venture in 1997 by setting up a fuel service station on a 4,444 square meters property in Taytay, Rizal, Philippines.
By owning a fuel station, the couple learned and realized the big difference of pricing offered by oil majors and independent companies to consumers which is almost the same in LPG industry. The LPG retail pricing of independent small companies are 12 to 20 % lower than the oil majors.
In 2004, after 7 years in the fuel business, Spouses Tan established an LPG cylinder tank refilling station on the same site. The first LPG company of the Tan family was registered as Hermit Gas Trading and the LPG brand used on LPG retailing is HERMIT GAS.
In 2007, Nathaniel Tan, the eldest son of Spouses Tan, formally managed the overall operations of the LPG business. Through the teamwork and dedication of the family members and trustworthy employees, the Tan family was able to expand the LPG business into 11 LPG refilling stations, 55 LPG retail stores and approximately 500 LPG resellers.
HERMIT GAS has been in the business of LPG cylinder refilling and retailing for almost 2 decades now, operating from the towns & villages in the provinces of Rizal, Laguna, Quezon to the richest city of the Philippines, Quezon City. The main business of HERMIT GAS is the LPG cylinder refilling, from household 2.7 kg, 11-kg and 22kg, to commercial, light industrial 50-kg cylinders.
