TAG Hardware studies various storage spaces in the home and creates accessories that reflect modern sensibility and style. Our engineers create hardware and accessories that are modular, highly functional and aesthetically inspiring. This uncompromising approach has placed TAG at the forefront as a conscious designer and product developer rather than simply a manufacturer. We actively respond to evolving tastes and needs by manufacturing locally. We are responsive to the market at home in Canada and the US, but our storage accessories, home office accessories, and garage organization ideas have caught the attention of design aficionados around the world. From Canada and the US, to Europe and Asia – wherever there is an appreciation for form and function – you will find TAG Hardware.OUR STORY
