NOX METALS
@noxmetals
The modern factory for fast, low-cost metals.
CNC shops move over $40B in raw aluminum and steel each year. Most of it arrives oversized, overpriced, and slows down production before the spindle even turns.
The materials industry is going to produce multiple unicorns over the next decade. Massively overlooked and poorly understood. The fruit isn’t low hanging, it’s on the floor.
CNC machining is a $100B+ industry. But before the spindle turns, shops spend hours per job just buying and cutting raw stock. Every year in the U.S.: >$20B in aluminum & tool steel >30%+ waste from offcuts, over-ordering, slow quoting >60% of shops still order material…
Can some absolute chad please go work for @noxmetals and @zanehengsperger and make the dominoes pizza tracker for ordering metal

HEY MACHINISTS: DM ME YOUR METAL NEEDS. We got into YC to blow up slow, overpriced metal supply for people who machine parts. Let us speedrun your metals supply so you can focus on making parts. Every factory I know waits days for quotes and overpays for blocks and plates.…

Detroit’s metals history runs deep. Before cars, it was a foundry town. By 1890, over 100 foundries cast iron and steel for rail, shipbuilding, and machinery. Then came the Model T. Suddenly every part needed stamped steel and machined dies. Tool steel was everywhere... A2, D2,…
Every CNC part begins with a block of metal. Before the tool touches it, time and money are already being lost.
If you need metal, call this man:

America’s industrial future depends on fast reliable supply chains. Nox Metals exists to serve the machine shops and factories that power this country. Custom raw metals at warp speed. Cut for those who build.
CNC machining starts with raw stock, not code. But most shops still lose hours and margin just sourcing and cutting metal.
We will have home field advantage at @reindsummit this week in Detroit! The Nox Metals team will be meeting with operators, builders, and industrial leaders working to modernize American manufacturing. If you are around and want to talk metals, automation, or factory…

$40B+ of raw aluminum and steel flows into U.S. CNC shops every year. Most of it is still ordered manually, cut in-house, and wasted at scale.
Most people think the bottleneck in CNC is machine time. It’s not. It’s materials. In the U.S. every year: >6B+ lbs of aluminum and steel cut for machining >80% of parts start with oversized stock >35% of material spend goes to waste, prep, and delay >Tool steel demand has…
