The Triple Cities Metal Finishing Corporation merged with The Industrial Service Corporation on August 1st, 1997.  The combination of theses two companies has formed a corporation that continues to lead the metal finishing industry in the 21st century.  The combined resources of these two companies, now known as Triple Cities Metal Finishing Corporation (TCMF), provides  decorative, functional, and corrosion resistant products for more then three hundred companies throughout the Northeast.

Industrial Service Corporation (ISC) was founded in 1946 by George P. Zurenda.  Mr. Zurenda came to Elmira, New York after a tour as a metallurgical inspector for the United States Air Force.  With the end of World War II, he recognized the need for metal finishing as local businesses returned to normal production.  ISC purchased a 3000 square foot building, formerly used as an incinerator by the City of Elmira, and began operations with three employees.

Triple Cities Metal Finishing Corporation was founded in 1953.  Their Binghamton, New York location was chosen for its proximity to IBM and Link Aviation.  TCMF employed only four people at it's inception.

In the early years, the companies processed parts mainly for regional manufacturers and offered a limited number of processes.  Today we service over 300 customers and have grown to be one of the largest plating companies in the Northeast.  The processes we provide include Powder Coating, zinc, electroless nickel, anodizing, chromating, copper finishing, and alternatives for cadmium plating.  Our facilities have grown from 3000 square feet to 125,000 square feet, and our three employees have grown to a team of 120 skilled professionals.

During our 54 years in business, TCMF has made innovative changes in the way we conduct business.  By combining the many resources of these two great companies, we continue to be a leader in the metal finishing industry in the 21st century.

The business environment today dictates that we provide the highest quality products, at less cost, in less time.  We believe this is accomplished by strengthening relationships with our customers, business partners, the community, and our employees.
