Tiger Brands’ relationship with Spoor & Fisher goes back to 1931 when the firm’s first trade mark application filing was our very own Jungle mark!

We have a dedicated team at Spoor who have made it their mission to not only intimately know our brands (and their related IPRs) but to also have an in-depth knowledge of our business.
