We pride ourselves on exceeding customers’ expectations by listening to their needs and executing on our commitments. This approach has led to industry-leading growth for Nexgen and our team. Since our founding we have grown to over 600 employees globally, with shipments of over 3 billion products this year.
In many ways we are a startup company in that we are changing how companies leverage technology to manufacture and deliver brand identification products. We have created a software platform to optimize, organize, and digitize our customers’ portfolios by providing them an intuitive framework for ordering Nexgen products. Considered the industry’s leading technology platform, over 10,000 brands and manufacturers globally use the Nexgen platform for product ordering. We continue to invest in technology and have additional products in the pipeline that we will release in the near future.
