ABOUT NIA

WHO WE ARE

Northern Indiana Anodize started the way a lot of good things in Fort Wayne do: with a field, a plan, and a group of people willing to work hard and figure out the rest. Seven years later, that field is home to an aluminum anodizing company finishing parts for manufacturers across the country, and many of those original people are still here. Here’s how it happened.

BUILT BY OUR PEOPLE

Plenty of our first hires had never seen an anodizing line. Several started in general labor and now run our floor as supervisors. Seven years in, it’s still the same team, just a lot bigger.

People came in off the street not knowing much about anodizing. They’ve become leaders and contributors, and they’re the reason we’re successful.

– Matt Rupp, CFO

FORT WAYNE, INDIANA

We’re based in Fort Wayne and committed to the region — as a manufacturer, an employer, and a long-term partner to the companies we serve.

ISO 9001 CERTIFIED

NIA is ISO 9001 certified — every part we run is tested for coating thickness, gloss, seal, and shade before it ships. Quality isn’t a promise we make after the fact; it’s built into our process at every step.

    ANNOUNCED OUR FOURTH EXPANSION, WITH NEW EQUIPMENT, MORE AUTOMATION, AND ABOUT 30 NEW JOBS

MORE CAPACITY. MORE CAPABILITY. SAME TRUSTED PRECISION.

Our first three expansions each filled a gap, whether it was floor space or a new service. Our fourth is different. It’s happening because our customers asked for it.
We’re investing $4 million in new equipment that will increase our production capacity by 40 to 50 percent and create about 30 new jobs here in Fort Wayne. Along with the new equipment, we’re adding more automation and building systems designed to grow alongside our customers.

For you, that means shorter lead times and a partner with room to take on more of your work. Some customers are already bringing us jobs they used to split among several finishers.
