TACSYSTEM is a Korean manufacturer of specialized nano-technology products. The company has made a name by being the main supplier for several other big detailing manufacturers.
TAC System’ history
TACSYSTEM started life as Tongyang Auto Chemcial Co. ltd. in 1995. The company was founded to fulfill the supply of specialized chemical ingredients for several companies in the automotive industry. In July that year, they officially started producing chemical products for car wash centers. 1 year later, the company received full Q-marks for all its product.
1997 and 1998 consequently saw the birth of a waste water treatment chemical and a wheel cleaner with an integrated fallout remover. In 2000 TAC System developed a mineral oil emulsification technology that would later be used to formulate some of their better known products. This invention led to the development of a water repellent in 2001. This in turn gave birth to their first professional car care webshop in 2002, with the development of a gloss coating for bodywork later that same year.
In 2006 they developed a polishing compound, designed to work in tandem with their protective products.
2007 was the year where Tongyang Auto Chemical Co. ltd. changed its name into TACSYSTEM. Although it is commonly known as “TAC System”, the proper spelling is “TACSYSTEM”.
2 years later, TAC System opened their first franchise store in China with a full head quarters being established in that same country just 1 year later.
TAC Systems is well known for their nano-technology based products, with many having a direct SiO2 base. But apart from their own product line, they have been the OEM supplier for products, ingredients and complete chemical solutions of several other brands. Some of the Quartz based products still on the market are originally produced by TAC System. This practice is fairly common in the world of detailing products.
TAC System products
At the moment of writing, TAC Systems has the license or patent on over 1000 different products, which are not all sold via their own brand. The main focus in the assortment that is being offered through their online channel is: Quartz coating, iron, oil or tar cleaner, polishing compound, shampoo, glass coating, dressing, applicators and interior care products.
TAC System company information
