TIGG Corporation - Company History

TIGG Corporation got its start in 1978 when founder Don Tigglebeck saw a market opportunity to provided small activated carbon modular adsorbers for the emerging pollution control market.

The business began to grow and the company not only supplied drum units, but manufactured larger vessels and integrated systems, services and rentals.

In 1999, Georgiana Riley, who worked for TIGG since 1994, purchased the company. This positioned TIGG as a Small Business Enterprise and Women Business Enterprise.

In 2009, TIGG Corporation acquired a new 155,000 square foot manufacturing plant situated on 40 acres of property in Heber Springs, AR. After upgrades and modifications, the ASME code shop is now outfitted with state of the art equipment and TIGG has the ability to manufacture steel tanks and pressure vessels up to at least 14 ft in diameter.
