Lutron Strengthens Its Commitment to Craftsmanship With Tanury Acquisition
Luxury is simplicity—and often, it’s what happens behind the scenes that makes the biggest difference.
Lutron has announced the acquisition of longtime supplier Tanury Industries, a Rhode Island–based metal finishing specialist that has partnered with Lutron for more than 25 years. Tanury has been responsible for the premium metal faceplates used across many of Lutron’s lighting control interfaces—components that play a quiet but critical role in the look and feel of a luxury home.
For homeowners and design-driven projects in the Hamptons, Manhattan, and Greenwich, this move signals an even deeper commitment to quality, consistency, and refined detail.
Why This Matters for Luxury Home Integrators
By bringing Tanury’s plating and coating processes in-house, Lutron gains tighter control over one of the most visible elements of its lighting systems: the finishes clients touch every day.
According to Lutron, the acquisition allows the company to:
Further refine and expand its portfolio of premium metal finishes
Leverage Tanury’s decades of specialized manufacturing expertise
Improve production efficiency and delivery timelines on a global scale
Walter Peake, Executive Vice President at Lutron, shared:
“These enhanced capabilities will drive greater marketplace differentiation and innovation, expand Lutron’s portfolio of premium metal finishes, and support the timely delivery of superior metal-finished products to customers worldwide.”
For integrators like HTE, this means greater confidence when specifying Lutron for high-end residences—especially where architectural detail and material consistency matter as much as performance.
A Legacy of Metal Finishing Excellence
Founded in 1946, Tanury Industries has spent nearly eight decades perfecting the art and science of metal finishing. The company’s work spans demanding industries including:
High-end automotive and motorcycle manufacturing
Private and commercial aviation
Marine hardware
Jewelry and luxury gifts
Within the Lutron ecosystem, Tanury has helped transform raw materials into the elegant, durable faceplates that have become a hallmark of Lutron’s lighting control systems.
“As a company, we’ve spent 80 years transforming unfinished materials into some of the most beautiful, durable, and recognizable products in the world,” said Michael Akkaoui, President and CEO of Tanury.
What’s Next for Tanury—and What It Means for Clients
Following the acquisition, Tanury will continue operating in Lincoln, Rhode Island, with Lutron confirming it will invest in and grow Tanury’s capabilities while continuing to support existing customers.
Thomas A. Tanury, Chairman of Tanury and son of founder Fredrick M. Tanury, noted:
“The synergies between our two companies played a significant role in our decision to work with Lutron. Lutron’s principles-based culture, future expansion plans, and genuine care for employees will allow for continued growth and success.”
Akkaoui added:
“We are thrilled to become part of the Lutron family after a 25-plus-year partnership that helped expand their metal finishes footprint in the luxury market.”
Why HTE Clients Benefit
At HTE, we specify Lutron not only for its performance, but for its design integrity. This acquisition reinforces what our clients already expect:
Lighting controls that feel as refined as they perform
Greater finish options for architecturally driven spaces
Long-term reliability backed by vertically integrated craftsmanship
From oceanfront estates in the Hamptons to penthouses in Manhattan and custom homes in Greenwich, these details matter—and Lutron’s investment in Tanury ensures they’ll matter even more going forward.
