Are you a contract manufacturer?

Add your site and it appears here with your real capabilities, certifications and open capacity. NextBatch is free for manufacturers permanently — the listing is a side effect of keeping your own calendar current, not a separate thing to buy.

List your site free

The directory is being built with the manufacturers already on NextBatch. Region pages go live as real sites join — we would rather publish nothing than a scraped list nobody maintains.

Your next batch is already being planned. Somewhere.

Better that it happens in one place both of you can see. Free to start, and free forever for your co-manufacturer.
