Reliable Plating and Polishing
We’ve got a long history in Bridgeport, CT.
Founded in 1955 on Water Street in Bridgeport. In 1964, Reliable Plating and Polishing moved to their current location on Bishop Avenue. We are the full-service metal finishing shop that you see today. A lot has changed since the early days, but not our dedication to good, old-fashioned craftsmanship and eye for detail.
Reliable Plating and Polishing is under new management as of 2024, bringing a renewed commitment to customers.
Scott Cleary, President, is a long-time employee and previous VP, is now the owner of Reliable. Most customers will still get Scott on the phone, just like they always have but will notice a new attention to detail and customer commitment.
Working alongside Scott is our Plant Manager, Matt O’Toole, another familiar face at Reliable. Matt helps keep things running smoothly, answers customer questions, and handles most of the day-to-day compliance necessary to run a high-volume plating shop.
Another familiar “voice” that our customers rely on is Renate Seymour. Renate keeps the office running — from answering phones, to building quotes, orders and invoicing, and a whole lot more. She is a long-time employee who, in 2024, just celebrated her 39th year at Reliable!
At Reliable, we offer a huge assortment of metal coating products and technologies.
Our attention to detail and fast service is why customers have been coming to Reliable Plating and Polishing for more than 70 years.
In addition to being local and convenient, we can perform some of our finishing processes with same-day or next-day service. We pride ourselves in working to your deadline. Our knowledgeable staff will consult with you to understand exactly what you need and when you need it by.
