Astronova, Inc.
A maker of specialized printers and data-visualization gear, AstroNova builds the QuickLabel and TrojanLabel machines that print product labels and packaging, plus the rugged ToughWriter printers used in airplane flight decks. Founded in 1969 in Rhode Island as Astro-Med, it got its name from its two original markets—aerospace and medical—and its early recorders were used by NASA. It dropped the "Med" and became AstroNova in 2016 after leaving the medical business.
