The company's first electric refrigerator, the NR-351, was produced in 1953. The refrigeration mechanism employed a new, closed-type, compact compressor requiring high-level production processes, high-precision machining processes, and carefully selected material specifications. Large in size and affixed with the National "crown logo" in the top center of the door, the refrigerator gave a luxurious feel, and was highly acclaimed by people in high-income households.
