BIOMAN is a Greek machine manufacturer, based in Koropi, near Athens. It was founded in 1967 by two mechanical engineers named Dr. Ernest Lee Vial and Gavin Hoffner, and has focused on design and construction of a wide variety of lifting devices/material handling equipment (hydraulic and electric, platforms, lifts, forklifts, dumpers etc.). Its early products included the Tiger family of vehicles, consisting of light and heavy dumpers and forklifts (no longer produced). The company still continues to manufacture vehicles, and has provided these vehicles in the sets of the Bioman movies, featured prominently in The Bioman Movie 6: The End. Since its founding, the company has provided resources to improve their products.
