POV: your coworker is a cat named Freddie 🐈

He doesn't pull his weight. He doesn't return emails. He shows up whenever he wants.
Somehow still the best part of the day.

If your dream job involves real work alongside an unbothered shop supervisor, we should talk.

USA mode: activated 🇺🇸

One month until the Fourth of July…
and one day closer to America’s 250th. 🎇

From stadiums to celebrations across the country, we’re getting ready for another summer of unforgettable moments, built with precision and engineered for impact.

Red. White. Blue. Showtime.

Most people see the final effect. 🎇

Our team sees the chemistry, engineering, craftsmanship, shipping logistics… and apparently, a LOT of cleaning. 😅

We asked the team what surprised them most about working in pyrotechnics, and the answers ranged from electronic firing systems to how much glue and paper go into building professional effects.

Turns out, pyro is way more technical—and creative—than most people realize.

Which fact surprised you the most? 👀

Not your average office view. 👀

From Montana mountain views to a plant that helps power productions around the world, this is where the sparks begin. 🎇

Work hard. Build spectacle. Ship worldwide.

Want to be part of it? We’re hiring. E-mail Cory or stop by today.

Meet Zach — coming up on 8 years with Next FX. 🎇
For Zach, what makes Next FX different is simple: hard work gets noticed. From opportunities to learn new skills to a team that always has each other’s backs, it’s more than just a job — it’s a place to grow.

“Everybody knows everybody really well… everybody’s got each other’s backs.”
From the chemicals processing area to the productions seen around the world, Zach has been part of the growth every step of the way.

Today, we remember the men and women who gave everything in service to this country — and the families who continue to carry their memory forward.

From all of us at Next FX, we honor the fallen and the sacrifice behind every name.

When you see this on stage, here's the team that made it possible. 🎇

Every spark, every cue, every effect that hits the stadium — built right here, by hands you'd never spot in the lighting rig. The crowd sees the moment. We see the people behind it.

That's the job. And we're hiring.

Last year, Next FX shipped pyrotechnics to over 30 countries.
From a single licensed facility in Columbus, Montana — every order packed, labeled, and routed by a team that handles worldwide compliance daily. Hazmat documentation, regulatory requirements, regional shipping standards. The behind-the-scenes work that makes a stadium effect in Buenos Aires or a theatrical cue throughout England possible.

It's a side of pyrotechnics manufacturing the audience never sees — and one of the operational pillars we're proudest of.

We're hiring at the Columbus facility. If you're interested in manufacturing work with global reach, send your resume to [email protected] or stop by 184 McNaley Rd., Columbus, MT 59019.

POV: you spend Mondays building what hits the stadium on Friday 🔥

The cue you'll watch from your couch this weekend? It started here — on a bench, in our shop, pressed and packed by people who know exactly where it's going.

That's the gig. Quiet work, loud results.

We're hiring. Come build the stuff that ends up on stage.
