Since its establishment in the early 1930s, Tiger Coatings has become an international enterprise. Privately-owned, today Tiger is
among the leading manufacturers of coating systems. Originally producing only liquid coatings, in
1968 Tiger was one of the first companies to enter
the previously unknown field of powder coating
technology. The development and production of a
wide range of thermoset powder coatings soon
became the focus of its product line. In 2006 the
company opened a production plant in Itupeva,
Brazil that serves the South American market
locally. In 2008, Tiger Coatings expanded its operations further and opened a new production plant
in Mexico. ;
