What Nyloncraft does

Nyloncraft, operating substantively as Net-Noggin, LLC, is a private Microsoft-centric IT consulting firm headquartered in Granger, Indiana. The firm was founded in 1995 originally as a web design business and has evolved into a specialized consultancy delivering onsite professional services across Microsoft networking, Exchange Server migration and deployment, firewall and VPN/security (Juniper, Cisco, WatchGuard), virtualization (VMware and Hyper-V), continuous data protection (DoubleTake), web filtering (iPrism / St. Bernard), SPAM and messaging security (Vircom), web design and SEO, and Microsoft Official Curriculum training. Its delivery model is an "over the shoulder" methodology in which certified consultants embed with client staff to transfer skills, reducing client dependency on external support.

The company serves medium-sized and enterprise organizations as well as government entities, with a customer base spanning manufacturing (Robert Bosch, Harcourt Industries, Atwood Mobile Products, Hess Industries, Saber Diamond Tools, Elkhart Products, Autoline Industries), education (Elkhart Community Schools with 1,000+ mailboxes deployed), healthcare (Nephrology INC, Elkhart Medical Organization), financial services (CommunityWide Federal Credit Union), and government (Government of Bermuda, Caribbean ministries of Education and Housing Corporation). International project work has been delivered to Bermuda and Caribbean governments, including a 2008 disaster recovery and Active Directory audit engagement. Notable outcomes reported include 10 million+ spam/virus/phishing events blocked annually and iPrism users spending 50% less time on web filtering versus competing solutions.

Revenue is generated entirely through project-based professional services engagements and onsite Microsoft Official Curriculum training, with custom quote-driven pricing per project and multi-year contract cadences. No published pricing, ARR figures, or funding history are disclosed. The firm operates as a privately held, founder-led LLC (Gary King as founder and primary consultant) and is not known to have external institutional investment. Distribution is direct, relationship-driven enterprise field sales with no third-party channel partners beyond technology vendor alliances (Microsoft, VMware, Juniper, DoubleTake, St. Bernard, Vircom).
