TIGER Storia
Fin dalla sua nascita nei primi anni 30, TIGER si è sviluppata coerentemente per diventare un soggetto operante su scala mondiale. Controllata sempre da capitale privato, TIGER è diventata uno dei principali produttori di sistemi di rivestimento. Inizialmente attiva solo nel settore delle vernici liquide, nel 1968 TIGER fu una delle prime aziende ad avventurarsi nel territorio, allora sconosciuto, della tecnologia della verniciatura a polvere. Lo sviluppo e la produzione di vernici in polvere termoindurenti diventa rapidamente il fulcro della gamma dei prodotti grazie alla sua ecocompatibilità e al suo altissimo grado di efficienza.
