Tiger Tim Products Founded
The story of the Flame Group starts with a business in North Wales called Tiger Tim Products Ltd. Remember this name, because this company plays an important role in our story. Tiger Tim Products was founded in 1972 by a group of engineers who had previous experience with a former firelighter manufacturer and decided to set up a new business venture.
Gebroeders H & J Kamps (Dutch-Flame) Founded

Management buy-out, start of Flame Group
In 2006 a management buy out took place. The firelighter division of Tiger Tim was taken over by the management and Dutch-Flame B.V. After a couple of years and due to acquisitions of different firelighterfactories, we have chosen the new commercial name called Flame Group.
