EUROPE

Family owned company Tigro Industries , headquartered in Limburg , started some 30 years ago as a small provider of value added services for local chemical and pharmaceutical customers . Today , the company is a renowned Belgian player with its own ADR-transport fleet and temperature controlled storage and packing facilities , specifically designed for the sectors that it serves .

Lately , the know-how of Tigro had started to attract the attention of a more international customer base , who asked the company to follow them to emerging markets like India , China and Russia . One of the reasons was that also in these more exotic markets , logistic services complying with Tigro ’ s Safety , Health , Environment and Quality policy are starting to be in high demand . This meant there were tangible business opportunities on the horizon for the company .

To accelerate their mutual growth , Tigro Industries and Ahlers set up a joint venture by the name of Altigra™ which will focus on providing high-quality international logistics services for the chemicals , pharmaceuticals and food industries .

Through this collaboration Ahlers and Tigro can handle the entire logistics spectrum of solids and liquids for these industries , as well as hazardous chemicals . Other capabilities include : temperature controlled storage , handling products , making formulations , blending products , micronizing products , drying products , repacking products , cleanroom operations , international transportation and local distribution .
