L'histoire de TIGER

Depuis sa fondation au début des années 30, TIGER s’est développé de façon importante pour devenir une entreprise présente dans le monde entier. Tout en restant en main familiale, TIGER fait aujourd’hui partie des leaders de la fabrication de systèmes de revêtements. À l’origine, TIGER s’occupait du secteur des peintures liquides, mais dès 1968, TIGER est une des premières entreprises à investir dans la technologie alors inconnue de la peinture en poudre. Le développement et la fabrication de revêtements en poudre thermodurcissables sont rapidement au cœur de sa gamme de produits – écologique et très performante.
