This vertically integrated facility streamlines production, ensures quality control, and positions us to scale rapidly across different verticals.$5.7 million - In-House R&D Capabilities: As part of vertically integrating our operations to control quality, protect our patents and trade secrets, optimize logistics, and be close to key markets, NEXE used the opportunity to build an in-house tool shop that will minimize machine downtime and play an important role in our R&D strategy.

What to expect in 2025
- Expanding Business-to-Business (B2B) Coffee Segment: The Company continues to have a strong pipeline with increasing inbound inquiries from coffee companies and roasters. In management's opinion, focusing on a business-to-business strategy will allow the Company to scale faster, ensuring a competitive return on capital for its coffee segment. From our initial experience developing relationships and entering partnerships, this process can take several months to over a year. We are focused on building the right partnerships that will allow us to build market share across various distribution channels that we can grow. The Company is exiting its branded coffee business, NEXE Coffee, to focus on building relationships directly with coffee companies and brands.
- At the Forefront of Sustainable Innovation: We remain committed to scaling our B2B coffee segment as demand grows, ensuring we maximize opportunities across all markets we serve. At the same time, our journey of applying our proprietary resin technology to the coffee industry has provided us with certain invaluable insights and a robust foundation for growth. While the coffee pods segment presented unique challenges, such as withstanding heat and pressure in a coffee machine, these obstacles have honed our expertise and strengthened our IP. Leveraging this experience, we believe we are poised to expand into more significant, diverse segments where these complexities are less prevalent. The Company has developed product prototypes, researched different verticals, and tested and worked with key decision-makers and buyers for new sectors.

In 2025, we are excited to showcase the groundbreaking work our team has accomplished, setting the stage for a future where sustainable solutions lead the market," said Ash Guglani, President of NEXE.
