At TAG, we mainly supply edge cutting dies and their accessories to the graphics industry, cardboard box manufacturers and plastic injection moulders in general. We develop the entire process at our installations; from the initial design to manufacture of the product using ground-breaking technologies to ensure guaranteed superior quality in the shortest possible lead time.

Our articles are well known in the market for the excellent standards of productivity they provide to our customers.

Evolution

Ever since it was constituted in the late 80s, TAG has grown and adapted to evolution thanks to continuous innovation. Our company has seen several changes over the years; larger premises, laser cutting to replace saws, automatic folding machines instead of manual, and many other new features. However, at TAG we work hard to keep sight of the values that have accompanied us down through the years: keeping in close touch with our customers and a liking for things well done, for quality.
