Tiger Medicines Corporation (or TMC for short) is a pharmaceutical company from Singapore.
History[]
TMC started out as the two Haw brothers, Chinese immigrants in Burma, who learned many herbal remedies, and started marketing them in the late 1800s. The main product, Tiger Balm, became very popular as a cure-all ointment in the region- and in the US. They branched out into other herbal medicines, using traditional Chinese remedies. Their sales among overseas Chinese alone keep them rich, and their goods are very popular in Europe and America.
Now, TMC is the main competition for Biotechnica in the medical field. TMC has brought large tracts of Borneo and South China rainforest, for the biodiversity, and have been consulting with local tribes as to uses. TMC had to abandon its Laotian research center in the face of Khmer annihilation. They are always on the lookout for the next big product.[1]
