NEXE Innovations Inc., a compostable and innovative materials company, is pleased to announce it has received two purchase orders from existing clients for the Canadian market. The purchase order from Bridgehead, a Canadian-owned business with a rich 40-year history, has been delivered and includes two different SKUs. The second order is from a North American-based coffee company specializing in office coffee services (OCS) and the retail distribution space managing distribution for several well-known brands with over 50 product SKUs. The OCS partnership was announced in February 2025 and this repeat order consists of over 150,000 pods across 6 SKUs.
With the addition of these two purchase orders, NEXE Innovations has produced over 1 million pods since November 2024. Given the current environment and the uncertainty around tariffs, NEXE expects to continue focusing on the Canadian market for current sales while it advances plans to establish an operational footprint in the U.S. We are in the process of onboarding additional Canadian based customers as we believe the interest in our NEXE BPI-certified compostable coffee pods continues to increase, especially given the movement towards “Buy Canada”.
NEXE is working towards a strategy under which it may move some of its production lines for coffee operations such as dosing and sealing pods to the U.S. NEXE expects to continue to manufacture the pod components in-house at its existing facility in Windsor. In our view, not only will this strategy reduce risks related to coffee prices and operations, but it may also mitigate tariff and geopolitical risks, as coffee is currently impacted by the existing tariffs. We anticipate that this strategy will also have a positive impact on gross margins and allow us to focus on developing additional innovative products and entry into new verticals. NEXE is currently advancing a strategy to enter new verticals and is continuously evaluating new opportunities, including ongoing collaboration with existing customers on our next-generation compostable Nespresso OriginalLine pods.
“We are excited about the continued traction we are gaining with customers and reaching the milestone of producing over 1 million pods, even as we navigate the current situation with the U.S. tariffs which have had an impact on our U.S. customers in the short-term,” stated Ash Guglani, President of NEXE. “Currently, we are focusing most of our efforts on growing our Canadian-based business while we advance our plans for transferring some of our production lines to the U.S. Over time we expect this will help support our U.S. customers with their strategies and contribute to the growth of our U.S. based revenues.”
