Founder
Nathaniel Sugerman founded Providence Metallizing Company in 1951 with one transformative vision: to provide finishing innovation that adds measurable value to customers' products. Starting in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, just over the Providence line, Nathaniel and his team of engineers created and adapted specialized equipment to produce jewelry-quality finishes for the region's thriving costume jewelry industry. His pioneering work established techniques and standards that would define the company's reputation for combining artistic sensibility with scientific precision. Under his leadership, PMC introduced groundbreaking finishes like Quartz and Aurora Borealis, setting new benchmarks for brilliance and consistency. Nathaniel's commitment to innovation over imitation created a foundation that would carry the company through six decades of technological evolution and market expansion.
2nd Generation Owner and Finishing Expert
Richard Sugerman carries forward the mission established by his father, combining art and science in a high-volume manufacturing environment to forge a path not taken by any other finishing company. As second-generation owner, Richard has overseen PMC's expansion into advanced PVD methods, electroplating systems, and UV coating technologies while maintaining the jewelry-quality standards that define the company's work. His leadership guided PMC's emergence as the only reputable domestic source for the cosmetic industry over 20 years, earning approved supplier status with global players including Estée Lauder, L'Oreal, Avon, and Elizabeth Arden. Richard's expertise spans magnetron sputtering, reactive arc deposition, electroless nickel plating, and precision coating on engineering-grade plastics. Under his direction, PMC achieved the 2011 Finish of the Year award for the Viva La Juicy Bottle and continues to set industry standards for fast turnaround, innovation, and customer service excellence.
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) nickel plating is an advanced coating process where nickel is vaporized in a vacuum chamber and deposited onto substrates as a thin, uniform film. Unlike traditional electroplating, PVD uses magnetron sputtering or reactive arc deposition to create highly durable, corrosion-resistant coatings with superior adhesion. This method produces exceptional finish consistency on complex geometries and engineering-grade plastics like Ultem, polycarbonate, and nylon, making it ideal for electronic shielding, medical devices, and precision industrial components.
