Global Machining, Plating & Anodizing Facilities
Serving Manufacturers in North America, Europe & Asia
Manufacturers across the world rely on Greystone for its best-in-class machining, plating and anodizing services. To meet the needs of our global clientele, Greystone operates facilities in North America, Europe and Asia.
Our oldest plant, Induplate, opened in North Providence, Rhode Island, in 1932 to serve the industrial plating needs of manufacturers of hard-to-plate parts. Decades later, Greystone acquired a high-volume machining plant (now Greystone of Lincoln) a few miles north of Induplate. In the early 90s, Greystone founded a second plating facility in Toano, Virginia. All three of our U.S. plants are located near ports and major highways to ensure efficient service and delivery.
Outside of the U.S., Greystone has facilities in China that provide plating services. We also have a plating plant in Stalowa Wola, Poland, which opened in 2020.
The Benefits of Greystone’s Global Footprint
Global manufacturers across a range of industries – including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical and semiconductor – rely on Greystone to machine and finish their safety-critical parts.
Our over nine decades of manufacturing experience is augmented by our skilled workforce and robust, in-house tooling and custom automation capabilities. This allows Greystone to deliver precision tuned parts with 4 PPM, superior electroplating services, and precision type II and type III hardcoat anodizing for a range of aluminum alloys.
Regardless of the facility where components are machined or finished, manufacturers can rely on Greystone to quickly deliver high-quality parts cost-effectively. The primary benefits of our global footprint include:
- Consistency: The same proven processes, chemistry, technology and controls are used at each of our facilities
- Risk mitigation: The breadth of services offered at each facility makes contingency planning easy in case needs change or issues arise
- Scalability: Greystone’s presence on three continents makes international expansion easy – and eliminates concerns about inconsistencies in quality, service or cost
- Flexibility: Parts can be produced or finished offshore and shipped throughout the world
