INTERVIEW| THOMAS A TANURY completed a Boeing 747-800 that involved over 6,000 pieces, a few of which were over 14 feet in length, including the gold-plated staircase rail.” “We are always working to very tight time frames and the pressure is enormous. We can handle the electroplating work for two big jet completions simultaneously, and projects tend to follow hard on each other’s heels. You have to be on your best game 24 by 7,” he comments. In addition to VVIP completions on private jets, Tanury Industries is often asked to provide a range of electro-plating fi nishings for other luxury assets, from royal palaces and mega-buildings to luxury yachts. “In each case we work with the designers and decorators to create a unique fi n- ish. Our R&D team are constantly working on new looks and new ideas. People quickly tire of the same old concepts. Gold plating is all very well, but designers are often looking for more – they want unique fi nishes,” he adds. Sometimes the design will call for elaborate etching of the metal as well as giving it a luxury coating. Tanury says his company has a great deal of experience at working with etching specialists. “We work with many companies that can help to create designs. We are well placed to give designers new ideas and access to new processes that they might not be aware of. Our message to designers is: come and talk to us, brainstorm with us. For example, I recently worked with some designers in Dubai and I was able to show them processes and ideas that they had never thought of and just did not know were available. They were very excited, and this is the kind of value add that we can bring to the design process, quite apart from providing an extremely high-quality fi nished product with an endless array of creative fi nishes as can be seen by reviewing the website at www.tanury.com, “ he notes. One of Tanury Industries’ specialities is the process of physical vapour deposition, or PVD. “With PVD we can create colour that you cannot get via electro-plating, and it also gives you tremendous corrosion resistance. For certain appli- Gold-plated sink basin cations it is really the best choice. This is where sitting down with us can really help to open a designer up to new ideas and pave the way for them to do something very creative and very different,” he notes. Tanury Industries is based out of Lincoln, Rhode Island in the US, where it has a 75,000 sq ft facility and some 200 employees. “For a metal fi nishings company we like to think that we are very much on the cutting edge and are very sophisticated in our methodologies, which works out extremely well for our VVIP clients,” he comments. Looking back on the journey that the company has been on since its beginnings in the jewellery trade, Tanury says the company has changed beyond all recognition. “When I took over the company the staff were all technicians and tradesmen. Today I have PhDs, engineers and chemists on the staff, along with lawyers. We are considered to be one of the premier electro-plating companies in the world, based on our technology and our people,” he concludes.
