Agawam, MA – March 25, 2011 | OMG, Inc., a subsidiary of Handy & Harman Ltd, has acquired the business and assets of Tiger Claw, Inc. of Bristol, CT. OMG is a leading manufacturer and supplier of fasteners and building products. The announcement was made by Hubert McGovern, OMG’s President.
Tiger Claw will become a part of OMG’s FastenMaster division.
Founded in 2001, Tiger Claw has grown to become the market leading brand of concealed deck fastening clip systems.
