Nix Manufacturing, Inc., established in 1970, is Southern Oregon's premier 5-axis machining facility specializing in precision manufacturing for aerospace, defense, and other demanding industries. Founded by Richard Nix, a United States Army veteran, the company began in Southern California before relocating to rural southwestern Oregon in 1977 to better fit the family lifestyle. Over the past 50 years, Nix Manufacturing has grown into a trusted full-service manufacturing partner with a reputation for excellence in complex and precision-engineered components. With a workforce of 25 professional employees and over 50 customers served, the company has manufactured more than 6 million parts and completed over 40,000 jobs. Nix Manufacturing is recognized for its advanced 5-axis machining capabilities, which enable the production of intricate aerospace components such as airfoils, turbine blades, and engine parts. This technology allows for enhanced precision, complex geometries, reduced setup times, and superior surface finishes, all while supporting a wide range of materials including aluminum, titanium, and composites. The company’s commitment to innovation is reflected in its aggressive reinvestment program, maintaining state-of-the-art CNC machinery from industry leaders like Matsuura, Tsugami, Mori Seiki, and Haas, with all frontline equipment less than three years old. The 15,000-square-foot facility includes a fully climate-controlled quality lab and operates under strict quality standards, being AS9100 certified and ITAR registered. Nix Manufacturing leverages ERP systems to provide real-time order tracking and maintains all inspection tools calibrated and traceable to NIST standards.
