Tigre Argentina S.A.

What Tigre Argentina S.A. does

Tigre Argentina S.A. is the Argentine operating subsidiary of Brazilian multinational Grupo Tigre, manufacturing and distributing polymer pipe and connection systems (PVC, PEX, PPR, PEAD) for the construction, agricultural, and infrastructure sectors. The company is headquartered in Pilar, Buenos Aires Province, and organizes its offering into three primary product lines: Obras y Reformas (water supply, drainage, gutters, and accessories for residential and commercial construction), Agro (fixed and portable irrigation systems, plus well and borehole products under the GeoTigre and Pocero lines), and Infraestructura (sewer and drainage systems, including Alcantarillado for municipal projects). Product differentiation rests on breadth of connection technologies — soldable, roscable, junta elástica, Ramat, and fusion-welded systems — supported by IRAM certifications and an extensive technical documentation library.

The business model is hardware sales through a B2B distribution channel. Products move primarily through a network of authorized resellers and dealers across Argentina, supplemented by the E-Tigre e-commerce storefront (e.tigre.com) for direct SMB and individual orders. Pricing is quote-based rather than published, consistent with B2B building-materials distribution. Customer service operates through phone lines, 0800 numbers, and a technical assistance channel, while marketing runs through the corporate website and an Instagram presence (@tigreargoficial). The Argentine entity is privately held and consolidated within Grupo Tigre, which operates across Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay; no public revenue, headcount, or ownership disclosures for the Argentine subsidiary are available in the source data.
