Ways in
Three doors. One connected workflow.
A Operators · associations, co-ops, regional groups
Start a network.
Name it, add your factories, publish the directory, and route each brief to the factories that fit. Owners invite operators; operators invite factories.
Join as a networkB Factories · job shops, makers, contract manufacturers
Start with your own factory.
Publish what you make, your lead time and capacity. Answer the briefs sent to you with one clear quote. Add trusted partners when a job needs them.

C Buyers · product teams, brands, procurement
Find American factories.
The directory is open. Factories appear when their network publishes them. Tell us what you need made and a person at Moxlet will follow up.

The list
Get on the list.
We let people in a few at a time, network by network, so we can answer every question ourselves and build what you actually need. Tell us who you are and what you need. It takes a minute.
- A person reads every entry.
- A confirmation email when you join.
- One more email when it’s your turn.
- No account, no card, no spam.
On purpose
Clear terms. Better decisions.
- Direct production agreements
An award records a decision. Moxlet never places the order; price, terms and delivery stay between buyer and factory.
- Clear supplier declarations
Capabilities, capacity and lead times are what members declare. We show them as declarations, never as certificates.
- Free buyer access
Buyers pay Moxlet nothing. A network pays its plan and a success fee on work it awards; it sets its own commission.
- A shared sourcing front door
Published factories can be discovered together by capability, location, capacity and order size. Networks keep their own identity and relationships.
- Explainable matching
Each match shows its score out of 100 and the reasons behind it: capability, lead time, capacity, minimum order.
Front door
Every network gets its own front door.
A public directory at its own address, in your name and colour, listing the factories you choose to publish. Briefs, quotes and contacts stay private to the people routed to them.
Ready for your own domain? Verify it with a DNS record from settings; hosting it is a separate step we list plainly.

Join the waitlistQuestions
A few things to know.
Who is Moxlet for?
The people organizing independent factories: cooperatives, manufacturing associations, regional groups and existing sourcing networks, and single factories that work with trusted partners. Each network gets its own workspace and directory.
How does the waitlist work?
Network operators, factories and buyers join one list with a few answers about what they need. We read every entry, let people in a few at a time, and email each person when it’s their turn, so we can look after every network ourselves and build what you actually ask for. If a network invited you, open the link it sent: invitations always work.
Does Moxlet bring us buyers?
Your published factories appear in the shared manufacturing directory, so buyers can find your network by capability and location. That makes discovery possible; it does not guarantee leads or orders. Your relationships and outreach still matter.
How is a factory matched to a brief?
By its own declarations, scored out of 100: capability 50, lead time against the buyer’s date 20, capacity 15 and minimum order 15, with the reasons shown. Operators decide who is routed; the score only suggests.
Who owns the buyer relationship?
Your network and its factories do. Moxlet provides the software for profiles, briefs and quotes. Production agreements stay between the commercial parties.
What does it cost, and who pays whom?
The network pays Moxlet: a monthly plan fee on the larger plans and a success fee when a quote is awarded. The network sets its own commission on awarded work, which its factories owe to it. Buyers pay Moxlet nothing. Invoices are settled by bank transfer. The price sheet is live.
Are factories verified by Moxlet?
No. Profiles and capacity are supplied by network members. Moxlet does not certify origin, quality or availability; buyers confirm requirements directly with the factory. A “Made in USA” claim is the maker’s to make and has to meet the FTC’s standard; Moxlet never makes it for them.
Can AI assistants read our directory?
Only if you grant one a token. It can read your published directory and nothing else, and you can revoke it at any time.
