High-Volume, Precision Electroplating Services
Manufacturers and machine shops that are leaders in their industries rely on Greystone to electroplate their critical metal components with world-class precision, speed and cost-effectiveness. Our services provide protection against corrosion and wear, superior adhesion, even thickness, and uniform coverage that is unmatched by any other plating service. Greystone excels at meeting tight tolerances for high-volume applications with rapid turn times.
Since the founding of our inaugural plating facility, Induplate, in Rhode Island in 1932, Greystone has earned a reputation for excellence and innovation – and has continuously delivered unparalleled service and quality. Today, in addition to Induplate, Greystone operates plating facilities in Virginia, Poland and China to serve our global clients in the automotive, aerospace, medical, semiconductor, defense and hydraulics industries (among others).

Quality, Speed & Cost: Get the Best of All Three
With Greystone’s plating services, you no longer need to sacrifice one to achieve the other two thanks to innovative tooling, automation, proprietary processes, and secondary operations developed by our in-house engineering team.
Custom Tooling & Automation
Unlike the overwhelming majority of electroplating providers – who use off-the-shelf equipment – Greystone has a dedicated team of engineers that builds custom tooling and automation equipment. Among the innovations created by our team is automated, 100% thickness-checking inspection equipment that ensures each part is free from defects and finished to meet unyielding standards.
Precision Plating System™
To drive efficiencies, enhance consistency, and further reduce costs for our plating and anodizing customers, Greystone developed the Precision Plating System (PPS).
Instead of barrel or rack plating, PPS provides high volume, individual part plating control. Plating deposits are customized to meet the unique needs and specifications of each application, which offers design flexibility and ensures adherence to the tightest tolerances.
