SERVICE

We have the experience in design and pyrotechnic choices to advise on the best pyrotechnics and close proximity products for the customers’ application and needs. The products on our standard product list are only a sampling of the available options. Next FX has a vast array of specialty items not listed in our catalog.

EQUIPMENT
Next FX utilizes an array of specialized technical equipment to manufacture its products. Our technical capabilities are continually evolving as we regularly develop and add new and innovative production equipment. We spare no expense to ensure the reliability and quality of our product. Our laboratory is second to none in our industry utilizing a multitude of state-of-the-art testing and analytical equipment. In addition, our indoor testing facility allows us to scrutinize all aspects of product performance in a controlled environment.
MATERIALS
High quality products require high quality raw materials. The category of products we manufacturer does not afford us the opportunity to tolerate low quality raw materials. In order to meet our stringent material specifications, we source the finest materials from around the world.
TESTING
Product testing is an extremely routine and important part of our manufacturing process. All raw materials are tested in our pyrotechnics lab before production begins. In addition, all devices must first meet rigid performance specifications in the pre-production testing phase. Our production personnel are highly trained and very experienced at immediately identifying imperfections or variants that may negatively affect or alter the performance of a finished device and instituting the necessary corrective action prior to production. Next FX has a dedicated quality assurance team that continually performance tests production devices. Next FX is CE certified; therefore, all products are performance tested to the conformity assurance standards of the European Community.
CLIMATE
Being located in a high desert climate where the humidity is normally quite low, we are afforded the opportunity to be able to work with many chemicals and mixtures that are sensitive to moisture. Manufacturing in an ideal climate also means that the integrity of our chemicals is not compromised throughout the production process.
DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SHIPPING
Next FX is very proficient and timely in shipping hazardous materials around the world in the most cost-efficient manner. Chances are where ever you are going, we have shipped there before and have global contacts that can assist with your production requirements. Our years of experience and long-term relationships with freight forwarders and pyrotechnic companies around the world, allows us to provide seamless, on-time delivery of pyrotechnics almost anywhere.
