Tarjac, Inc. is a unique finishing service provider that uses a market-moving technology known as Fluid Imaging Technology (FIT), a three-dimensional printing process. FIT hydrographically applies decorative finishes to products to enhance the value of these items in the marketplace. The FIT process is the most robust and cost-effective means by which products with irregular or uneven surfaces can be decorated.

Tarjac began operating in January of 1989 as a custom decorative paint job shop and in 1996 licensed the FIT process. Tarjac has been known since its inception as a leading product finisher to the hunting industry. During its' 14 year history, Tarjac has gone from a small custom camouflage painting operation servicing the hunting industry to a larger volume finishing service provider working in a variety of industries.

The boys from Orange County Choppers recently used our services on one of their bikes. The bike is scheduled to air on their show on the TLC channel on February 14th and the 29th. Some of the guys from OCC actually came to the factory to help dip some of the parts of the bike. The bike was created for Gander Mountain. Check the link below to see some clips of the show.

Mike Kuetemann wrote "I just wanted to say thanks for the great work completed on my older Shotgun. I chose the Mossy Oak Duck Blind pattern to spice it up and it looks great! I could not be happier. Plus the gun was returned in no time. I think it was gone for 2 weeks tops. That is speedy service. Once again thanks and I'll look forward to recommending your services.
Thanks again! "

Another satisfied customer..

Bill Green wrote "The bow has been performinglike a champ. I decided to keep it the way it was. I went ahead and let it sit for a couple weeks and the finish seemed to become more durable. It was put together to use as an indoor bow and has been doing just fine."

Thanks Bill, we are always glad to hear back from our customers..

Scott Stewart had us do some work on an anniversary present for his wife. Happy Anniversary to the Stewarts!

Tarjac, Inc. was named after Cindy and Larry’s two children. Tara and Jacob. Tara is working with us here at Tarjac In the shipping Dept. Jacob is no longer with us at Tarjac, he is instead flying with the angels in heaven. Jacob was an avid hunter. He had been hunting since around 6 years old. He especially loved hunting with his dad, then making his mom come see his prize. Last summer (2006) Jacob was taken from us here and brought to the angels after a car accident. We love and miss you Jacob. R.I.P.

Jacob didn’t just limit his hunting abilities to hunting just deer and ducks. As you can see he was a great fisherman too! He loved anything that kept him outside.

Larry and Cindy Salerno originally had a lawn and garden business. The craftsmanship that eventually led to the business success was one of Larry's hobbies. The business started when Larry, an avid bow hunter, received a gift from the marketing manager of Oneida Bow. Larry decided he could improve on the bow's camouflage pattern using an airbrushing process. When the president of Oneida Bow saw Larry's improvements on the bow, he asked Larry to produce more for him. He first asked for 10 and then started to send orders for 50 a month. The business was now born in the Salerno's back yard shed. When the orders increased to 100 per month, they hired their first employee. The business then expanded from just camouflaging hunting bows to shotguns, rifles and pistols. Soon the business was generating more money than the lawn and garden business so the Salernos closed the original business.

The Salernos visited the SBDC in the early 90's for assistance in securing financing for expanding the business. They returned to the SBDC in 1996 for assistance in funding further expansion and facilitating the installation of equipment for a new camouflage dipping process.

The Salernos currently employ 70 individuals and have added a 14,000 square foot addition on to the existing 24,000 square foot building in Seneca County, an area that has had significant job losses in recent years. The NYSSBDC named Tarjac "Manufacturer of the Year" in 1996.
