Following World War II, Nordson became a division of U.S. Automatic Corporation, marketing and producing airless spray equipment after acquiring "hot airless" method patents. In 1966, the entire U.S. Automatic operation was merged into the subsidiary, Nordson Corporation. Our teams took our products on the road to show potential customers our revolutionary technology.
