NOX METALS: The Factory is the Product

Vertically integrated, automated metals factories built to move at software speed.

🛑 The Problem

Every part, from aerospace components to automotive tooling, starts with raw metal. But the supply chain that delivers it hasn’t changed in decades:

  • 3–5 days to get a quote from a broker.
  • Multiple markups between the mill and your shop.
  • Slow fulfillment with no visibility once you order.
  • High overhead baked into every part because of manual, fragmented workflows.

This slows down factories, raises costs, and makes American manufacturing less competitive.

⚡ The Nox Metals Model

They don’t just use factories, they build them to be the product.

  • Orders in → Machines moving: Your quote instantly becomes a job on their automated cutting line.
  • Software + Automation: Robots pick, cut, package, and label… removing human bottlenecks.
  • Lower Overhead: No layers of brokers, reps, and schedulers.
  • Faster for You: Shorter lead times, real-time tracking, and predictable delivery.

Lower overhead means better prices. Faster cycle times mean more throughput for your factory.

📈 Why It Works for Customers

  • Time: Place orders in minutes, get delivery in days.
  • Cost: Reduced overhead on their end means better pricing for you.
  • Certainty: Every order tracked from quote to delivery.
