Opening of a new research laboratory in Itami

New research institute in Itami

With the yearly increase in sheet glass research, the Amagasaki Research Laboratory was no longer able to accommodate the demand. To accommodate the increased demand, short-term measures had to be taken, with some research being conducted at plants. NSG’s new research laboratory in Itami, Hyogo Prefecture opened in July 1968 and the company’s research operations were moved there from Amagasaki.
