Nox Metals, founded in 2025 and based in Detroit, Michigan, operates an automated metals processing facility that cuts aluminum plate and bar stock to customer specifications. The company stocks 6061, 7075, 7050, and 5000-series aluminum alloys, as well as Inconel and stainless steel by request, delivering cut material with next-day turnaround and instant online quoting. Zane Hengsperger is the founder and CEO. The company's core technology integrates software-driven quoting, scheduling, and shop-floor automation—robots handle picking, cutting, packaging, and labeling—to eliminate manual processes and reduce lead times typical of legacy metal service centers. Nox Metals serves manufacturers, aerospace and defense contractors, CNC job shops, and industrial equipment producers across the United States. The company raised $500,000 in seed funding and was accepted into Y Combinator's Summer 2025 batch, with Jared Friedman listed as the primary partner.
