Lutron Electronics announced it has acquired Tanury Industries, a surface finishing and metal coatings company that has supplied Lutron with metal faceplates for more than 25 years, in a move aimed at bringing plating and coating capabilities in-house and expanding Lutron’s portfolio of premium metal finishes.

The company said the added finishing capabilities are intended to support innovation, differentiate Lutron’s offerings in the marketplace, and improve delivery of metal-finished products globally, while Tanury leadership pointed to shared values and the opportunity to build on a long-standing partnership that helped Lutron expand its presence in premium and luxury metal finishes.
