Tiger's History
As a woman majority owned company, Tiger Enterprises & Trading, Inc. started operations in Ellington CT in 1993, under the direction of Ms. Bonnie Walker, the current Chief Financial Officer and majority owner. Subsequent growth and expansion over the years led Tiger to seek larger operating facilities in Tolland CT. Tiger later moved operations two more times to other separate and larger facilities in and around Ellington CT.
Tiger's continued growth necessitated the need to add industry experienced personnel. This was accomplished in 1995 with the addition of Mr. Dwight Walker, Bonnie's husband, who brought over 18 years of industry experience from Hamilton Standard. Mr. Walker also became the General Manager of Tiger Enterprises.
By 2006 further growth opportunities led Tiger management to decide to relocate the entire business to Fountain Inn, South Carolina where it currently resides.
