In 2021, Niigata is celebrating its 50 year anniversary. In an era of rapid changes in markets andsocial environments, we have been able to continue our business for half a century thanks to thegenerous support and kindness of our long-time customers. We would like to express our sincere
gratitude again.

In 1999, the company was reorganized into the current Niigata Co., Ltd. as a “company thatcreates new forms.” Around that time, we began to oﬀer our services to university laboratories

and our challenge to research and experiments started by watching others. For more than 20years since then, we have gradually changed our products and services to expand our business

into other adjacent industries, and have always kept going as a challenger to adapt to thechanging times. We strives to make steady progress in the next 50 and 100 years.

Flow visualization has been developed as a non-contact, quantitative, multi-dimensional method of measuring the velocity and temperature of a ﬂow ﬁeldduring mass transfer. Today, visualization research is used as a major research and development method in various ﬁelds such as aviation, automobiles, medicalcare, aerospace, marine, and food. We support visualization research of our customers, including those who are conducting visualization research for the ﬁrsttime. Our services include visualization testing, test research, visualization measurement, the provision of high-precision instruments and jigs required for suchmeasurement, and improvement of experiment eﬃciency.

Niigata’s specialties <Case studies>

We receive more than 200 requests a year for transparent visualization. The request will vary depending on what the customer wants to see or what they want
to examine. In particular, in order to visualize invisible air and water ﬂows in a box using particle image velocimetry (PIV), special polishing and object
segmentation are required, taking into account the angle of laser irradiation. We oﬀer our unique services developed based on our manufacturing experienceand promise to help you all the way to the end.

What can be done with our battery development support

Since having exhibited at the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Expo 2008, we have built up our track record by manufacturing small parts one by one. In battery
development, we help our customers conduct eﬃcient experiments to steadily advance their battery development by providing various services ofhigh-temperature tests; shock tests; explosion-proof tests; basic experiments on durability, adhesion, and evaluation of various materials; design and fabricationof instruments and jigs necessary for the next step; provision of experimental sites; preparation of facilities; and data compilation.

Niigata’s specialties <Case studies>

We have been working with our customers to manufacture many products that are necessary for battery development. The results are ranging from various
materials and shapes to surface treatments, designs, fabrications, simulations, test nails combining diﬀerent materials, press machines, battery evaluation cells,and ﬂow cells. Today, we not only sell and manufacture products, but also set up experimental laboratories and support experiments in fuel cell (FC)development. We oﬀer our unique services and products developed based on our experience and promise to help you all the way to the end.

Niigataʼs specialties <Case studies>
We receive more than 2,000 inquiries a year from university laboratories and R&D personnel in various industries. No two consultations or requests from them
are ever the same. There are what we can't understand unless we try it, and what we can't know unless we experience it, which mean a world that we can't see
unless we step into it with our customers. We regard such actions as our R&D services and are always ready to support our customers in a wide range of ﬁelds.
