NOF Corporation
 PROFILE
If you should find yourself in the market for exploding pastries, stop in at NOF and get almost everything you need. NOF's various products include petroleum-based chemicals, soaps, and paints for ships and automobiles -- and even explosives. NOF also makes food items that are used primarily in cooking (margarine, shortening, processed oils). Searching for new advances in drug-delivery systems, NOF develops and manufactures pharmaceuticals as well. It has subsidiaries in the US, Europe, and Asia, as well as about 10 manufacturing plants in Japan. NOF was founded in 1937 by a merger of four firms involved in the manufacture of oil and fats, edible oils, coatings, and soap.
