In 1953 T.I.B. (Technisch IngenieursBureau) was founded in Rotterdam. Under this banner, the first punches and molds were designed and built. In its heyday the company grew up to 8 people; 2 constructors and 6 toolmakers. In 1972 the company was renamed Produger BV, which is a combination of the words Productie & Gereedschap (Production & Tools).
