TigerStop LLC was founded in 1994 by Mary and Spencer Dick with a vision to help manufacturers work faster, more accurately, and with less waste. Working from a small garage in the Pacific Northwest, they designed and built the first TigerStop—a machine created to solve common manufacturing challenges and improve productivity on the shop floor. What began as a family-built innovation quickly grew into a thriving manufacturing business. From the start, Mary and Spencer were committed to building the company sustainably, investing in local employees, partnering with local vendors, and manufacturing products in-house. Those principles remain central to TigerStop today. Now in its 32nd year of operation, TigerStop has become the global leader in automated stop gauge, material positioning, and optimization solutions. From its headquarters and manufacturing facility in Vancouver, Washington, the company designs and produces technology that helps manufacturers reduce waste, improve accuracy, and increase efficiency. With more than 70,000 TigerStop systems installed worldwide, the company’s products support manufacturers across a wide range of industries and markets around the globe. Despite its international reach, TigerStop has never lost sight of its roots. The same entrepreneurial spirit that drove Mary and Spencer to build a company in a garage continues to guide the organization today. Having grown from humble beginnings into an industry leader, TigerStop understands the challenges manufacturers face and remains committed to helping businesses achieve sustainable growth. At its core, TigerStop’s goal has remained unchanged for more than three decades: to help manufacturers eliminate waste, maximize resources, and create opportunities for success. The company believes that strong manufacturers strengthen local communities, create jobs, and drive economic growth. By empowering customers to operate more efficiently, TigerStop helps businesses invest in their people, support their communities, and build a stronger future. More than 32 years after its founding, TigerStop continues to innovate with the same purpose that inspired its first product: helping manufacturers work smarter, waste less, and achieve more.
