Tiger Cat Industries
|
Tigercat specializes in the design and manufacture of premium quality forestry equipment and specialized off-road equipment.
As a customer driven company with strong engineering capabilities, Tigercat thrives on the design and continuous improvement of forestry equipment.
With the acquisition of Metalfab and two MacDonald Steel fabrication facilities, Tigercat's office and manufacturing space totals 600,000sq.ft. The workforce is over 600 strong.
A brief history
Tigercat began in 1992 when a small group of professionals with extensive experience in the forestry industry teamed up with leading edge steel fabricator, MacDonald Steel.
Extensive research revealed that the performance of drive-to-tree feller bunchers were failing the expectations of loggers in the southeastern U.S.
The result was the Tigercat 726, quickly recognized for its high production in poor terrain. Its success set a precedent which Tigercat constantly aims to surpass.
Then Tigercat ran into a problem. There was not a felling attachment on the market suitably matched to the performance of the 726 and 720.
The problem became an opportunity. Tigercat built its own bunching shears and saws. The attachment line has since revolutionized the industry, increasing productivity while reducing site impact.
New product development and enhancement of existing products continues at a rapid pace.
Tigercat production
On the shop floor, Tigercat uses a "team build approach." Assembly teams of two build a machine from start to finish and then sign off on it.
Because each machine is a reflection of the individuals who built it, quality is controlled by accountability.
Production at Tigercat is efficient and flexible. Assemblers are cross trained -- to build other Tigercat products or make service calls in the field if necessary.
As an extra measure, Tigercat’s pre-delivery inspection or PDI teams ensure that every Tigercat machine is assembled to the highest standards.
They constantly look for ways to improve assembly procedures and provide clear feedback to the build teams.
The PDI teams also work closely with the warranty department, tracking component quality and in-field performance.
