TGA

What TGA does

TGA (legally Tga Ingenieria Grafica SL) is a privately held Spanish industrial engineering firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Leganés, Madrid. The company delivers custom-designed machinery, automation systems, and turnkey production line solutions across four business lines: engineering and manufacturing, automation solutions, packaging and metal decorating, and graphic industry solutions. Its proprietary MetalOffset TGA technology enables conversion of paper sheet-fed offset presses into aluminum and tinplate metal sheet printing lines. TGA integrates mechanical, electrical, and control engineering under a single provider, serving enterprise clients in graphic arts, packaging, aerospace and composites (Airbus Defence and Space, Hexcel, SGL Carbon Group, Aernnova), and industrial distribution (Rubix, Ardagh Group, Ovelar, Círculo Printers).

TGA's core technology stack comprises custom industrial automation, motion control with servomotors and robotics, machine vision for quality control, functional safety systems compliant with ISO standards, and advanced tension control using real-time PID controllers with load cells and pneumatic dancers. The firm delivers project-based custom engineering spanning longitudinal cutting systems, plate bender modifications, AGV clutch/declutch systems, Mecanum wheel redesigns, test benches for linear actuators, and press relocation/retrofit services for legacy equipment from manufacturers including GOSS and Timson. The MetalOffset TGA portfolio includes both four-color and six-color sheet-fed press conversions with automatic format and plate change capabilities.

TGA generates revenue through project-based custom engineering and manufacturing contracts, with pricing determined per project based on client specifications, scope, materials, and complexity. The company operates an enterprise field sales model with no third-party distribution channels, securing engagements directly with manufacturing decision-makers. It serves more than 500 cumulative clients worldwide across Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, USA, Panama, Switzerland, Cuba, Poland, and additional markets, with multi-year project contracts. TGA employs 11–50 people and operates from a single headquarters facility.
