FAQs
About NEXXTA
What is NEXXTA? NEXXTA is a U.S. injection molding manufacturer. We run four plants across the Great Lakes with 150+ presses, in-house finishing and assembly, and our own tooling and R&D, producing components for transportation, professional infrastructure, medical, and defense programs.
Where are NEXXTA's manufacturing plants? Four plants in the Great Lakes region: Mishawaka, Indiana; Jonesville, Michigan; Mansfield, Ohio; and Nashotah, Wisconsin. Together they give us the capacity and redundancy to run multi-site programs and ramp quickly when demand shifts.
Is NEXXTA a domestic, U.S.-based manufacturer? Yes. Every part ships from a domestic plant, with no tariff exposure, no customs delays, and no ocean-freight variability. For teams reshoring production or diversifying away from overseas suppliers, NEXXTA is a tariff-free U.S. option that can ramp fast.
Capabilities
What manufacturing processes does NEXXTA offer? Injection molding is the foundation, backed by surface finishing and in-house assembly. That spans standard and large-format molding, BMC thermoset composites, MuCell microcellular foaming, glass-filled nylon, and clear optical-grade lens molding, plus PVD metallization, soft-touch and piano black paint, hard coat, and multi-component assembly.
What press sizes does NEXXTA run? 150+ presses from 25 to 3,000 tons across the four plants, covering high-cavitation small parts through large structural components and single-shot parts over 12 pounds.
What materials does NEXXTA mold? Commodity resins, engineering-grade polymers, glass-filled nylon, thermoset BMC, and clear optical-grade polycarbonate and acrylic, matched to the mechanical, thermal, and cosmetic demands of each application.
What surface finishing does NEXXTA offer? Five paint lines and eight fully automated PVD and vacuum metallization lines, plus an R&D Color Innovation Center. Finishes include chrome-like PVD without hexavalent chromium, soft-touch coating, piano black at 90+ gloss, and hard coat and anti-fog treatments for clear lenses.
Does NEXXTA handle assembly? Yes. Finished components move straight into in-house assembly. We build custom fixtures, run multi-component assembly lines, and kit parts for just-in-time delivery, which keeps quality control in our hands from first shot to final shipment.
Does NEXXTA build and maintain its own tooling? Our in-house tooling engineers specify, source, and maintain molds for the full life of every program, supported by a deep local network of trusted toolmakers.
Does NEXXTA offer prototyping? Yes. 3D printing, short-run tooling, and full-scale sample assemblies let engineering teams validate designs and test function before committing to production tooling.
Quality and industries
What certifications does NEXXTA hold? Ford Q1, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, and IATF. These are the operating standards we audit against continuously, across every plant, line, and shift.
What industries does NEXXTA serve? Transportation (our largest segment), professional infrastructure (energy, industrial automation, and commercial equipment), medical devices (wheelchair systems, diagnostic housings, patient-interface parts), and aerospace and defense (drone components, firearm components and accessories, ruggedized housings).
Working with NEXXTA
How do I start a project or request a quote? Send your part drawing and timeline through our Request a Quote page, and we will come back with a quote, a timeline, and a plan. You can also ask to schedule a plant walk-through to see the floor and meet the team that would run your work.
Does NEXXTA have open capacity? Yes. We keep open capacity ready to activate, with modular production lines and automation that bring new programs online quickly without pulling resources from existing ones.
