Quality System: ISO-9001

At Tanury, the ISO system constitutes the basis of our approach to quality. This starts at the level of each department where documented procedures carefully define each step to accomplish each task. Standard operating procedures then define the policies, stating specific responsibilities and actions. Finally, all policies roll up to the highest level, which is our quality manual (QM)

Our History

For over 70 years, Tanury has worked in metal finishing, transforming unfinished materials into some of the most beautiful,
durable and recognizable products in the world.

We started our business as a local job shop delivering what our clients needed, when they needed it—on time, every time. As our customers grew, so did we, expanding our capabilities to accommodate their changing needs.

Founded in 1946 as a family business, Tanury Brothers, Inc. employed twelve people. The firm grew quickly, moving from a 7,200 square foot facility into an operational footprint of over 50,000 square feet. By emphasizing specification plating, quality, waste management and environmental responsibility, Tanury grew to become the leading finisher for the jewelry industry.

Tanury’s operation expanded to include industries such as automotive, aircraft, writing instrument, eyewear, and more looking to develop high-quality, jewelry-grade finishes for their products. In the 1990s, Tanury Industries continued to grow, improving plating and quality control through re-engineering of plating systems and improved production system operations in addition to disciplined processes for employee training.

Currently, Tanury Industries’ corporate headquarters occupy two distinct facilities, including a 70,000 square foot, state-of-the-art, surface-finishing plant in Lincoln, Rhode Island. The facility includes multiple production lines for automated plating, hand plating, and physical vapor deposition (PVD) systems as well as customer service and quality control operations.

Tanury is the premier decorative plater in the nation and; our work can be seen on high-end motorcycle and automotive parts, private and commercial aviation, marine hardware—even on the items you may wear such as high-end gift or jewelry items.

By keeping our business responsive to the changes in the marketplace and the needs of our clients, our operation evolved into one of the premier coating companies in the country. Today, that agility allows us to respond quickly and accurately to any request, from a first-time client to a decades-old customer.

“The pyramid is one of man’s most fundamental design forms. As part of our logo it symbolizes not only the precious-metal finishing process, but our strength and depth as a company as well. By insisting on excellence at every level of our operation, we have been able to build a reputation for quality and service that will endure into the future.”

We understand the needs of our customers’ businesses and know what it takes to grow and thrive, even in a tight and challenging business environment. From start to finish, all of our business operations and systems are tuned to deliver uncompromised quality, unprecedented service and fast turnarounds. This is something we provide to every client and every project.

Protecting Our Environment

Tanury Industries recognizes the importance of protecting the environments in which we work and live.

In fact, we have been honored 2 years in a row by the Narragansett Bay Commission for Environmental Excellence.
