BRISTOL, Connecticut – January 25, 2010 – Tiger Claw announces it has signed a multi-year agreement to manufacture exclusive hidden deck fasteners for TimberTech®. TimberTech is a leading manufacturer and leader in the research, development and marketing of long lasting, low-maintenance high quality decking, railing and fencing solutions.
“After evaluating a number of different manufacturers and designs, TimberTech selected Tiger Claw to manufacture the CONCEALoc hidden fastener system based on functionality, performance, and interaction with TimberTech decking,” said Steve Harshbarger, Product Manager, TimberTech. “Tiger Claw has proven to be a market leader in hidden fasteners, and the partnership has been mutually successful for both companies.”
Our agreement with TimberTech is further validation that industry-leading decking manufactures want the quality and design Tiger Claw has to offer for their custom hidden deck fasteners,” said David Hartmann, president of Tiger Claw Inc. “This agreement takes our partnership with TimberTech to a whole new level. Tiger Claw is now in a greater position to help TimberTech grow its hidden deck fastener market, while giving us the opportunity to continue inventing new and innovative products.”
The Tiger Claw nationwide network of regional sales managers will work closely with TimberTech to provide ongoing customer and technical support and education to its distributors, retailers and builders.
The new contract is an extension of an earlier agreement to design and manufacture CONCEALoc™, which was made for TimberTech’s Earthwood line of grooved decking in 2006. Since then, TimberTech has expanded the CONCEALoc design to the Twin Finish and XLM decking lines. Tiger Claw’s new fastener installation gun was designed, in part, to support CONCEALoc installation and is available online and through distributors.
About Tiger Claw hidden deck fasteners
Tiger Claw offers a complete line of innovative and versatile hidden deck fasteners. The TC-1 is a coated steel hidden deck fastener and the TC-2 deck fastener is made of stainless steel. Both are ideal for pressure-treated lumber, including Cedar, Redwood, and Pine. The TC-3 is used with composite decking materials, Cellular PVC, and medium density hardwoods. The TC-4 is perfect for 3½” wide exotic hardwood decking lumber like Ipe and Teak. The Proclip is recommended for AZEK decking. The TC-G (TC-150) offers the fastest installation available today for 1” or thicker pre-grooved decking or non-grooved boards using the TC-G (TC-150) slot cutter. The TC-120 works just like the TC-G (TC-150) and is ideal for ¾” grooved decking; TC-120 slot cutter is available for non-grooved boards. To increase the already quick installation time of the TC-G (TC-150), Tiger Claw has introduced an installation gun compatible with the TC-G (TC-150), TimberTech CONCEALoc, and Trex HideAway hidden fasteners. Tiger Claw also offers High Performance Deck Screws, available in four different colors.
