Shop Applied Coatings

Tighe Group has two factories, both of which offer shot blasting and application of multi-coat paint systems. The factories have large laydown and storage areas to accommodate any major project, along with easy access to the motorway network. Both facilities have benefited from significant investment in recent years.
