Hexa Pinball is a French boutique pinball manufacturer founded by Rob Berk that entered the North American market in 2025. The company is known for its design-by-order production model, attention to cosmetic quality (mirrored backglasses, powder-coated armor), and use of PinSound equipment. Their flagship title Space Hunt launched in 2025 through multiple North American distributors (Mad Pinball, Pinball Star, Nitro Canada), followed by the public domain-based Three Musketeers game announced for 2026, while simultaneously developing a custom Renault Twingo promotional machine and the free Plunger QR-code scoring app.
