TIGG

What TIGG does

TIGG, operating as a brand under Newterra Corporation, designs, manufactures, and installs activated carbon adsorption systems for the removal of trace contaminants from air, water, process liquids, and gases. The company was founded in 1977 and is headquartered in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, with a headcount of 11–50 employees. Its product portfolio centers on the CANSORB line of liquid-phase carbon adsorbers (including high-pressure and multi-media variants), the NIXTOX line of vapor-phase box and Plenum Deep Bed (PDB) adsorbers, PFAS-specific water treatment systems, liquid-phase bag filtration units, and granular activated carbon drum systems. All pressure-bearing vessels are fabricated at a fully-certified ASME shop holding both the ASME U Stamp and National Board R Stamp, with drinking-water configurations NSF/ANSI 61 certified.

TIGG sells primarily into two end-user groups. The first is government and municipal customers, addressing groundwater remediation, municipal gas plant site remediation, stormwater runoff, and VOC containment. The second is industrial customers in manufacturing, chemical processing, and oil and gas, addressing industrial wastewater, PCB removal, odor control, and soil vapor extraction. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales: every unit is customized to client specifications, with engagement from order placement through installation, startup, and commissioning, supplemented by ongoing technical support, carbon and media exchange services, and a rental solutions channel for temporary treatment needs.

TIGG generates revenue through two intertwined streams: (1) hardware sales of customized adsorption and filtration equipment, and (2) technical and lifecycle services including installation, commissioning, technical support contracts, and consumable/rental offerings. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is project-quoted based on client specifications. The business model is classic engineered-to-order industrial capital equipment, with certification-driven procurement access and an installed-base-driven recurring media/service tail.
