Welcome to our series on the Nexii Certified Manufacturing (NCM) program! This post introduces NCMs, discusses how the program allows us to rapidly roll out the Nexii system to meet the demand for green construction solutions, and how manufacturers can participate. In coming blogs, we’ll discuss why the NCM model is vital for our climate, your independent business, and the local community and profile successful Nexii certified manufacturers.
What if you could make a difference to the climate and your community while owning a business that’s in high demand? That is the purpose of the Nexii Certified Manufacturing (NCM) program. There is an urgent demand for sustainable building solutions across North America. Nexii is the solution, and through our NCM program, you can bring the production of Nexii high-performance sustainable building products, along with hundreds of new green jobs, straight to your local community. The result is everyone benefits: you as owner/manufacturer, the people in your community and the global climate.
What is the Nexii Certified Manufacturing Program?
The Nexii Certified Manufacturing program works with independent businesses to provide direct access to our proprietary breakthrough material Nexiite, and to all the systems, protocols, and processes needed to produce our high-performance green building products. Through the NCM program we certify and support independent businesses so they can market, sell and produce Nexii sustainable building products across their region. We take a partnered approach to support NCMs, guiding all stages of the business relationship.
How the NCM program works:
Nexii:
- Certifies quality local manufacturing partners who have expertise in their markets.
- Provides plant designs, training, sales, marketing, and engineering support to NCMs.
- Produces and supplies Nexiite to NCMs. Nexiite is our proprietary blend of materials used to manufacture the interior and exterior walls of the Nexii panel.
Nexii Certified Manufacturer:
- Owns the manufacturing plant
- Responsible for the ongoing operation of the plant
- Responsible for production and distribution of Nexii panels
Shared responsibilities:
- Sales and marketing
- Engineering design
- Production planning
What we are looking for in a Nexii Certified Manufacturing Partner
First and foremost, we want to collaborate with people who share our vision of building a vibrant future for people and the planet. Ideal NCM partners have experience as an owner/operator in construction or manufacturing. Alignment with Nexii environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles and an entrepreneurial spirit is necessary. Partners should have a solid reputation within real estate, manufacturing or the local municipality and access to capital.
Current Nexii Manufacturing Partners
Nexii currently operates two corporate plants in Canada and is working with licensees – Nexii Certified Manufacturers (NCMs) – to open additional plants across the U.S. and Canada. The first NCM plant is in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, commencing operations October 2021 with a grand opening slated January 2022. A range of other North American NCMs are at various stages of development with plans to open in 2022 and beyond.
In my next blog, I’ll cover why the new NCM business is vital for all stakeholders: the local manufacturer, the community and the world’s climate.
We are always looking for the right partner to share our mission and regularly add Nexii Certified Manufacturing partners to our team. Contact us if you are interested in finding out more about the Nexii NCM program.
