About Larry Gaynor
What started as a counter in a health and beauty store in 1985 has grown into The Nailco Group (TNG), an $80+ million family owned business with customers around the world.
Larry Gaynor, President and CEO built The Nailco Group (TNG) with a mission of 100% Customer Success, which means differentiating TNG from the competition by offering solutions to our professional salon, spa, and tanning clients that: build their business and improve their bottom line. In doing so, TNG wows clients and creates an experience that engages their mind and passion through consistent innovation, professional relationships, huge selection of the highest quality, in-stock products, extraordinary business and consulting programs, advanced professional excellence academies and unmatched shipping/delivery.
TNG delivers 100% Customer Success through its mail order catalog, extensive web sites, 22 Michigan and Ohio The Industry Source Stores, and The Industry Source Exclusive full service division with Beauty Experts. The company manufactures select products under the brand names FPO and TISPRO, and publishes a magazine for industry professionals called The Industry Source magazine.
Through involvement with The Gallup Organization, TNG measures this engagement through a system called CE11, in which the company ranks in the unprecedented ninety-fifth percentile. Likewise, TNG holds employee engagement in high regard. Through Gallup surveys, TNG staff consistently report integrity, confidence, pride and passion in their place of employment. Also, the company has been ranked by local Fox affiliate WJBK among the 101 Best Places to Work in Metro Detroit six years in a row.
TNG is the only one in the professional beauty industry to achieve ISO 9001 certification for quality.
TNG leads community efforts as a Five Star Investor with The American Cancer Society and a national sponsor for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
