Historia de TIGER
Desde su fundación a principios de los años 30 del siglo pasado, TIGER se ha ido desarrollando hasta convertirse en una empresa con presencia a nivel mundial. Aún en manos privadas, TIGER se encuentra en la actualidad entre los fabricantes líderes de sistemas de recubrimiento. En sus orígenes activa únicamente en el sector de las lacas líquidas, en 1968 TIGER fue una de las primeras empresas en introducirse en la entonces desconocida tecnología de la laca en polvo. Gracias al desarrollo y fabricación de recubrimientos en polvo termoestables, respetuosos con el medio ambiente y de alta eficacia, se convirtieron rápidamente en el núcleo de la gama de productos.
In the early 1930s, brothers Theodor and Gustav Berghofer found the TIGER brand.
