Baroda-based Tigmaster Company is changing hands. The longstanding provider of welding, fabrication, and machining services has been purchased by Lakeshore Die Cast owner Adam Schaller of Baroda.
According to the sale announcement, Tigmaster Co. was founded in 1981 by Jeff Sukupchak and began as a small welding service provider to the local tool and die industry. Over the decades, the company expanded its capabilities to include welding, fabrication, precision sheet metal, custom cutting, and machining.
They moved to their current location in 1985 and have since added on six times. They are currently a 42,800 square foot modern fabrication house equipped with a full range of CNC-programmable equipment.
With more than 40 employees, Tigmaster is seen as a cornerstone of the Baroda business community.
Schaller is currently the owner of Lakeshore Die Cast, a local leader in aluminum and zinc die casting. Lakeshore Die Cast was founded in 1959 by Oscar Zilke. Company control transitioned to the Schaller family in 1979.
The acquisition of Tigmaster is said to add to Lakeshore Die Cast’s capabilities and solidify its position as a key player in the region’s manufacturing sector.
