“ We believe our customers are looking for a solution that is complete and high-end , and we believe the strength of combining Tigro with Ahlers enables us to cover that complete portfolio of value added services ”

The year Ahlers ’ s operations were founded

Despite having only been formally established on July 1st 2015 , Altigra has already secured business with a Fortune 500 chemical company based in India . Altigra will take care of its product distribution , processing and repackaging while it will also offer freight forwarding services to get the hazardous products to Europe with the highest possible safety and quality standards . Similar projects are already in the sales pipeline but are still covered by non-disclosure agreements .
By pooling expertise and resources together , both partners can work towards the goal of offering international solutions . Bart Moors , Director at Tigro Industries , said : “ We believe our customers are looking for a solution that is complete and high-end , and we believe the strength of combining Tigro with Ahlers enables us to cover that complete portfolio of value added services . Our ambition is to work out customised , turnkey solutions for our customers in the food , chemical and pharmaceutical sectors .”
“ As an example , two years ago we implemented a warehousing project together with a value added design and packaging solution based on the very specific needs of an end customer with seasonal demand in hygroscopic products . This is just a snapshot of how we want to delve deeper into every stage of the supply chain and offer customised solutions on the international market . The niche expertise of Tigro combined with Ahlers ’ international reputation and contact book will make a powerful match .”
