WE'VE BUILT OUR BUSINESS BY DELIVERING QUALITY PARTS, ON TIME, EVERY TIME.
Jim Terry and his father, Jim Terry, Sr., the founders of DeWayne's Quality Metal Coatings, began providing high quality metal plating services to manufacturers located in West Tennessee in 1990.
They began by operating a single phosphate & oil line and have since grown into one of the leading providers of metal finishing services in the lower Midwestern United States.
DeWayne's first big growth spurt came in 1993 when Nucor Fastener selected the company to plate five truckloads of parts per day. The increased volume allowed us to expand our base of machinery and equipment. After adding a large customer, DeWayne’s has invested in additional capacity, which has allowed us to not only add capacity, but add plating solutions, and increase the quality of the parts we produce.
Our management team has grown the business by providing customers with quality plating services, fast turnaround times, competitive prices, and very often with solutions to vexing problems (visit our Case Studies page to see how we've helped our customers solve problems). We've done this by continually investing in equipment that allows us to maximize throughput at our facility and by making an effort to learn as much as possible about our customers’ operations. Our top 15 customers have been with us for an average of nearly ten years because of the quality and value we provide.
Today DeWayne’s employs over 100 people and plates hundreds of millions of parts per year. The company supplies plating services to numerous Tier I suppliers, Fortune 500 manufacturers, and local manufacturers.
