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.
