100 Years of Tnemec
A Celebration of Tnemec's "Yrutnec," Building from Our Past into the Future.
Despite being a company whose name is spelled backwards, Tnemec has spent the last 100 years focused on moving forward, providing products and services that have helped to 'cement' our reputation as one of the most reliable, innovative coating providers in the industry. In 2021, we celebrated a century – or as we call it, a 'yrutnec' – of good fortune and great products, as we look into the future at the next 100 years of coating innovations. Since the day we were founded in 1921, our goal as a company has been to help our customers protect their investments, and that will continue into the next century, too. Here is a collective look at all that Tnemec has done since the beginning, to share our story with all of our long-time clients, and those new to the Tnemec name.
