Bolt-On

Franchise Model

Own an established business but looking to add more value? Our bolt-on franchise option lets you seamlessly integrate additional services without the hassle of starting from scratch.

For instance, if you own a fabrication shop, you can easily incorporate powder coating services. Or, if you run a powder coating shop, you can expand into fabrication. It’s a straightforward way to diversify your offerings and boost revenue.

What Business will you Bolt-On?

Coatings & Finishings

With so many manufacturers in the marketplace, we can help navigate what equipment is best suited for your business from our decades of experience in coatings & finishings. We will help plan the overall layout, which plays a crucial role in your profitability and overall throughput of a coating operation. Having the proper estimation and management systems in place to efficiently run takes years of trial and error, which we have worked through already.

Metal Fabrication or Machining

The number of metal services business startups are on the decline due to the barriers to entry, high costs involved in setting up a business, and the departure of the baby boomer workforce. With a Nix Industrial Franchise, we help do the heavy lifting with you. This is an incredible opportunity for potential owner-operators to step into a business with an existing client base that is amplified by the NIX brand reputation known for quality, reliability, and longevity.

Field Service

Owning and operating your own service truck (or fleet of trucks) can be a great way to dramatically increase your income and build long term wealth. With the support of our franchise network, we can make this transition much easier and safer. We will help provide you with sales leads, business coaching and mentorship, administrative tools, and back-office resources.
