iama considers customer
support as a main priority in
Tits service strategy. This is
why a real offer with a full range
of services has been developed to
be able to help customers with
their daily stakes and challenges.
The Toolings’ activity is fully in
line with this strategy.
Tiama counts more than 3800
carousel machines installed
throughout the world. When
providing machines, its goal is
to build a long term partner-
ship with glassmakers. Ensuring
a full service linked to variable
elements and bottle handling for
these machines is one of the steps
required to reach this goal.
Glassmakers always have to
face regularly changing produc-
tion campaigns and increasing
articles’ customization. One of
Tiama’s strong points is to be
able to respond to customer
needs with customized toolings
sets for all types of container
productions including cylindri-
cal articles, non-round articles,
pharmaceutical, jars… The firm
delivers genuine parts for article
handling such as: neck and body
starwheels, infeed screws, out-
feed guides, blocking starwheel,
plugs…
