Leave The Heavy Lifting To Us

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.

What does it mean to be powered
by Nix Industrial?

We all know big families are made up of smaller individual families, and while they each have their own identity, they all share the same heritage and similar values. Our business is no different. When you franchise with Nix Industrial, you have the chance to establish and expand a business of your own, with the guidance and support of our experienced team and proven-successful processes.

Nix Industrial, with origins tracing back to a humble family blacksmith shop established in 1902, has since progressed into a 5th generation family-owned business and a national leader within the metal services industry.
