Nakanishi Inc

A Japanese maker of dental and industrial rotary equipment, best known under its brand NSK for the dental handpieces and burs used in dentists' offices worldwide. It began in 1930 when founder Keiichi Nakanishi set up a small workshop in Tokyo to make dental handpieces, relocating to Kanuma, Tochigi, during World War II. The brand name NSK comes from the initials of the company's old Japanese name, Nakanishi Shika Kikai, meaning "Nakanishi Dental Manufacturing."
