Pilot Manufacturing & Prototyping
Flexible space for pilot-scale manufacturing, materials synthesis, and bench-scale processing.
NEI Corporation operates three facilities in New Jersey. The company originally began operations in 1997 out of a small lab and office space in Piscataway, NJ before moving to a larger nearby facility in 2003. As NEI continued to grow rapidly, we relocated our primary operations to Somerset in 2005, establishing a 10,000-square-foot facility dedicated to materials synthesis, processing, and analytical testing. Our Piscataway location continues to serve as our business and accounting office.

In 2023, we expanded our Somerset operations by adding a second 9,200-square-foot facility within the same industrial development. This additional space allowed us to increase production capabilities and expand our research and development operations. Today, our Somerset facilities support a wide range of materials research and development, synthesis, processing, production scale-up, and testing activities.
Located within NEI’s active materials manufacturing and research environment in Somerset, NJ, our shared facilities provide space, equipment, and resources for startups and growing companies working in advanced materials, energy storage, and chemical technologies.
Companies can configure space for their own pilot equipment and processing needs or arrange access to existing NEI equipment, including processing machinery, high-temperature furnaces, and analytical characterization instruments. The facilities also offer loading dock access, industrial utilities, material storage options, and shared office and conference amenities.
