The Guitar Institute of Technology (IG&T) agreed to use Tagima instruments in their classes, bringing in more brand recognition.

With the considerable increase in market share, a set of actions were implemented in order to reorganize its structure to meet the increase in demand and through this new organization raise a fresh desired profile. Consequently, it was vital that the we grew accordingly. Moving the factory to a new location in São Paulo, investing in equipment to increase production, improving work processes, expanding the sales network and implementing distribution, advertising and marketing actions. These were all measures taken and integrated that resulted in the dynamic maturity of the company and unraveling of the brand nationally.
