NGK Insulators itself is a notable company; it is the world's largest manufacturer of electrical porcelain, with a number of plants in different countries. Due to the company's significant production of ceramic items, its annual sales exceed $USD3.5 billion. NGK Insulators has been producing porcelain continuously for nearly 100 years, and, sometime in the mid 1980s, its total output surpassed 150 million porcelain units. (en)
