BRISTOL, CT–(Marketwire – December 18, 2008) – Tiger Claw Inc. today announced that it reached its $10 million mark in sales, exceeding its record sales growth of 2007. In August, Tiger Claw was ranked #604 on the prestigious 2008 Inc. 5,000 list. It was also ranked #31 on Inc.’s annual ranking of the top 100 fastest-growing consumer products companies in the United States. Company officials expect the sales growth to continue into the New Year.
“Despite the continued decline in nationwide housing starts and the stagnant remodeling industry, Tiger Claw has continued to show record-setting company sales growth,” said David Hartmann, president and co-founder of Tiger Claw. “We attribute this ongoing success to our ability to provide exclusive custom hidden deck fasteners to the world’s premier decking manufacturers, such as Trex, TimberTech, Azek, and Fiber Composites. We are constantly in the development mode, anticipating the needs of the building industry. We are actively working on some very exciting new products that will complement our current products under the Tiger Claw brand and our partner companies.”
Earlier this year, Tiger Claw and Trex announced a multi-year contract to manufacture Trex’s proprietary Hideaway™ hidden deck fastener system. Trex Hideaway is now being used for one of Trex’s most popular collections of decking and railing, Trex Brasilia®, providing cleaner deck surfaces, free of nails and screws.
Tiger Claw reported $9.7 million in sales in 2007.
