Our Company
Ink Production. First and foremost, our story begins with an initial idea of offering an innovative and profitable product in the tobacco and FMCG market, given that the current market is saturated with products versatile and very expensive, making the final product more expensive and reducing profit margins by a fraction. In such cases, it is where the cost of raw materials is increasingly higher.
Ultimately, from this idea we founded our first production plant, as well as our research and development laboratory in Bulgaria. In the first instance favored research, production and testing with low process costs. Thus, we began to develop the idea of a modular and multifunctional product. Thanks to the years of experience of our technicians, engineers and researchers, we managed to make our first ink prototype, with incredible and improvable results.
Right from the beginning our inks offered a technological advance and were completely versatile compared to the products that had already existed on the market. Hence, we obtained an ink that has not only very low costs but is highly profitable, where for each gram of ink it has an efficiency of 200% compared to to traditional inks on the market.
Then, the time came in 2018 to put it into practice with our first clients and our first TinPro production in Bulgaria, and as expected they were a total success, always correcting small technical and laboratory details, which is a guarantee at TinPro: The constant development and research to offer the perfect product for each client, with unique and particular solutions.
As the company grew more profitable, we then started supporting our international customer’s development providing local warehousing and local technical support in Romania and Turkey.
Establishment of new TinPro production site in Malaysia
Lastly, in 2023, TinPro-founder Abel Sánchez and business developer Romain Boulot established a new manufacturing site in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This investment is allowing us, the team of TinPro, to support our international customers in the growing Middle East and Southeast Asian markets.
