ABOUT US

A subsidiary of D F Wishart Holdings, with over 160 years’ experience, Tiger Building Products Ltd remains a family run business which remains faithful to its founding principles – excellence in supply and excellence in quality.

Our team has a proven track record in design, sourcing and marketing to aid your business in procuring the right quality product, packaged exactly the way you want it.

“We have worked with TBP for a number of years now & they bring a complete extra dimension to our buying function. Our margins have been enhanced allowing us to grow market share while delivering consistency of quality that has really been appreciated by our customers.”

Andrew

Purchase Manager, Manchester

“TBP sourced a range of products for us that we had been buying in Europe. Their own Shanghai operation fully understood our needs and were so diligent in every step of the process that when we first committed everything was just exactly as it should have been and we’ve never looked back. We have since further developed additional new products and completely refreshed our packaging. We did so seamlessly, on time, and Tiger Building Products again delivered identifiable added value in doing so.“

Karen

Purchasing Director, Leeds

“We had a quality and continuity problem on higher value Hinges. TBP solved it and sales have grown since. No fuss, no dramas they just knew exactly what they were doing!”

Ian

Commercial Manager, York

“TBP take the strain out of importing. They work with us as if we are one team. I would recommend them for any import project but on ironmongery and tools in particular.”

Purchasing Director, Birmingham

OUR CONNECTIONS

We have been members of the Guild of Architectural Ironmongers (GAI) for more than 40 years and have fully qualified and accredited staff who have completed all the necessary training courses. The GAI is the only trade body in the UK that represents the interests of the architectural ironmongery industry and is an internationally respected authority in this sector.

We are members of the BIAFD (British and Irish Association of Fasteners and Distribution) which represents the interests of, and provides services and support to, leading UK distributors and wholesalers of fasteners, fixings and related products.

Membership ensures that we remain industry compliant and ahead of all legislation and provides us with invaluable knowledge to make sure that we are offering our customers the best service possible.

INDIA AND CHINA

We currently source products across both Europe and Asia – particularly India and China. As well as our Head Office and Distribution Warehouse in Scotland, we have offices in New Dehli and Shanghai where our people on the ground are able to visit factories on a regular basis, conducting audits, negotiations, packaging checks and quality control to give you complete peace of mind. It’s a sound, efficient, knowledge-led strategy which sets us apart from our competition.

In India, we have invested directly into factories to create a modern, efficient, responsible facility which exceeds social and manufacturing audits.

In China, we have a long-established team whose experience in sourcing, quality control and export administration keeps us at the forefront of our supply solutions across a wide range of industries.

WAREHOUSING

In addition to delivering direct to our customers, we operate a distribution warehouse in central Scotland where selected products in our own brand can give you an immediate infill stock solution. We are in close proximity to the container port at Grangemouth with immediate links to the motorway network.

The warehouse has 15,000 sq ft of storage space and the narrow aisles and high racking deliver maximum capacity and efficiency for our customers. A barcode storage and picking system ensures that each consignment is allocated space and that stock is rotated and selected according to relevant and specific data.

Supply-Chain

Over our long and successful history, we have established sophisticated and well-proven systems and processes which enable us to deliver supply chain excellence on behalf of our customers.
