Delivering trusted smart heat management® solutions for the world’s toughest industrial thermal challenges.
Engineered with Passion. Delivered with Decades of Experience.
Nexthermal is a leading manufacturer of custom-engineered heating elements, temperature sensors, and thermal solutions, based in Battle Creek, Michigan. As we approach 40 years of service, our heaters and sensors are at work in thousands of applications across a very broad range of industries. These include packaging machinery, life sciences equipment, plastics processing, semiconductor manufacturing, power generation and transmission, transportation systems, and metal die-casting.
Every Nexthermal product starts with an engineering conversation, not a catalog page. We design and build custom cartridge, coil, tubular, and infrared heaters, along with the temperature sensors that control them, for applications where off-the-shelf products fall short.
To earn worldwide leadership by delivering smart heat management solutions that improve our customers’ competitive advantage.
Discovering unique changes needed to deliver an optimized solution to positively influence our customers, employees, and partners. We are committed to a culture of serving
When you contact Nexthermal, you work directly with people who understand heat transfer, materials, and manufacturing processes. They take the time to learn how your equipment runs, where it struggles, and what others may have overlooked. Then they engineer a solution around those answers.
Our engineers use thermal simulation and real-world data to pinpoint exactly where energy is needed. This lets us design distributed wattage heaters that put heat where your process demands it, for tighter temperature control, higher efficiency, and longer heater life. Every product is built for your application, not pulled from stock.
We enjoy solving difficult thermal problems. We work alongside OEMs, design engineers, and maintenance teams, and we treat every project as a collaboration rather than a transaction.
Nearly 40 years of solving thermal challenges in demanding industries helps us anticipate problems before they reach your production floor. It’s why manufacturers trust Nexthermal to keep their production running faster, cleaner, and smarter.
Service doesn’t stop at our customers. Our culture is built on supporting organizations that help children and families in need in the Battle Creek community.
