Nomad Factory is an audio plugin developer founded in 2002 by Bernie Torelli, a French recording engineer, producer, and composer based in Nice. Torelli spent over 25 years working in analog studios across Paris, Montreal, and Los Angeles, collaborating with artists such as Stanley Clarke and Michel Polnareff. Drawing on that experience, he began developing plugins reminiscent of 1960s and 1970s analog hardware, launching the Blue Tubes Bundle as the company's first product.

Nomad Factory's catalog spans over 100 plugins focused on vintage-style analog emulations for recording, mixing, and mastering. Key product lines include the Blue Tubes Bundle (a collection of EQs, compressors, limiters, modulation effects, and channel processors), the British Bundle (emulations of iconic British console EQs and compressors), the Magnetics Bundle (tape saturation and compression inspired by classic tape machines), and the Integral Studio Pack, which combines dozens of processors into a single collection. Other notable titles include the Pulse-Tec EQs (Pultec-style equalizers), Echoes (analog echo unit emulations), and 80s Spaces (a reverb collaboration with impulse response creator MoReVoX).

Following Torelli's passing in 2016, Plugivery Distribution took over stewardship of Nomad Factory, maintaining the product line and releasing updated versions built on a modernized framework. The company emphasizes long-term product ownership over subscription models, offering free major upgrades on updated products.

Nomad Factory has 15 products cataloged on Equipboard, including FX Bundle Plugins, Limiter Plugins, and EQ Plugins. Their gear is featured by 11 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Orchestra, and Classical. Notable users include Black Sun Empire, Legowelt, and Sébastien Léger.
