Tiger Corporation (Japanese: タイガー魔法瓶株式会社, romanized: Taigā Mahōbin Kabushiki Gaisha, lit. 'Tiger Vacuum Flask [Magic-jar] Corporation') is a Japanese manufacturer that applies vacuum insulation and heat control technology to consumer electronic appliances. Their headquarters are located in Kadoma City in Osaka, Japan. The company manufactures and sells appliances such as household and commercial vacuum insulated containers and stainless-steel bottles, along with cooking appliances such as rice cookers. The company also manufactures industrial parts and products used in automobiles, homes, air conditioners, space, and medical care in 60 countries around the world.
In 2018, Tiger Corporation collaborated with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) on jointly developing a “Double-Layered Vacuum Insulation Container,” a small collection capsule. It has successfully re-entered Earth’s atmosphere without harming the experimental samples from the International Space Station (ISS), opening a new plan for taking samples from space.
