Process Temperature Indicator Card for Retort Sterilizer

"From the Ocean to Outer Space" NiGK CORPORATION was fully financed and established by NOF CORPORATION in December 1980. Inheriting the know-how accumulated by TEIKOKU PYROTECHNICS MANUFACTURE CO., LTD., which had lasted from 1938 to 1970, and that of NOF CORPORATION, Kawagoe Plant which succeeded it, we have promoted research and development in various fields in parallel with manufacturing of pyrotechnics and temperature indicating materials and other products. With on ever-expanding scope of our business, our products have been patronized in different fields widely ranging from the deep seabed to outer space, as indicated by our catch phrase, ""From the Ocean to Outer Space,"" contributing to safety and reliability of various systems. In order to not only swiftly respond to ever-advancing needs and supply useful products to society, but also ensure safety and reliability, we would like to fulfill social responsibilities as a technology developing corporation and move forward to materialize further development. 1.

Message from the President We are committed to serving your needs and sustain an inventive approach to create new values. Under the management principle ""We respond swiftly to changes in society and ever-advancing clients' needs"" and based on the corporate motto ""Wisdom/Cooperation/Participation""; our business has been growing in the course of offering our ingenious technology and products to accommodate customers' needs. Company's catch phrase ""From the Ocean to Outer Space"" describes our business contents; we offer broad range of niche market-oriented products such as ocean observation, marine instruments for seabed resource research, thermo-label with color indicator for temperature management, sterilization materials used for sterilization assurance of medical instrument, reinforcement materials such for construction and civil engineering structure such as tunnels, bridges pier and so on,electric hydraulic tools for power-supply constructions, indicator which detects failures of the transmission line towers of electrical facilities, welding flux utilizing thermite reaction, and pyrotechnics for rockets as represented by the separation bolts for stage separation. In the recent upheaval business environment, we are expected to respond rapidly to the changes and address customers' needs. We will continue to improve our competitiveness in the industry and refine our proprietary technology. Furthermore, we will leverage our organizational strength of the NOF CORPORATION group to revitalize research and development, and global operational presence.
