美國NK公司歷史(Nielsen-Kellerma)
理查德凱勒曼和保羅尼爾森（Richard Kellerman and Paul Nielsen）于1978年創辦了NK。理查德在施樂公司擔任物理化學家，當時教練泰德納什招募他設計一種能簡化舵手在河上工作的產品。在施樂公司的合伙人保羅尼爾森的合作下，理查德凱勒曼確信他可以創建一個單元來結合放大器，行程表和計時器的任務，以簡化舵手的工作。創造了一架CoxBox放大器的想法來自于理查德在觀看舵手在賽船會期間將他的船員帶入橋梁后。

1984年
1984年，美國NK公司擴大了他們的產品線，包括初的StrokeCoach行程表，專為scullers和直船設計，因此他們也可以知道他們的行程速度和時間。隨著StrokeCoach的，NK為劃船教練設計了Chronostroke速率和秒表，并開發和制造了Concept II劃船機的原始監視器。隨著這四種產品的開發，美國NK已經變得太大了，不適合理查德家的地下室。 1985年，美國NK在賓夕法尼亞州Marcus Hook的一家舊人造絲工廠居住，并在未來10年內開發了Pace Coach和SpeedCoach。在此期間，NK還重新設計了CoxBox，CoxVox和StrokeCoach，使其更小，更輕，更易于使用。

1996年
1996年，美國NK推出了一系列風速儀和氣象儀，稱為Kestrel®氣象儀，從而擴展到全新的產品線。美國NK公司發展迅速，因此再次搬到位于賓夕法尼亞州切斯特的一個更大的工廠。在切斯特工廠（1996-2004）任職期間，美國NK共發布了4種型號的Kestrel氣象儀，并在賽艇生產線上增加了另一種產品SpeedCoach Gold，并推出了Interval 2000RateWatch®適用于游泳和田徑市場。

2009年
2009年，美國NK將其業務和設施擴展到位于賓夕法尼亞州Boothwyn的全新生產基地。隨著NK不斷增長的員工，劃船產品線已經發展到包括易于使用的SpeedCoach XL。 CoxBox進行了另一次整容，使其更具吸引力和用戶友好性。 Kestrel風速儀和氣象儀系列通過推出五款新的特種茶隼表來實現多樣化，以滿足各行業人士的需求。

展望未來，美國NK永遠不會滿足現在的。目前正在開發和測試的許多新產品將在不久的將來推出。請務必留意本網站上新的Nielsen-Kellerman。

Nielsen-Kellerman Company History

Richard Kellerman and Paul Nielsen established NK in 1978. Richard was working as a Physical Chemist at Xerox Inc., when Coach Ted Nash recruited him to devise a product that would simplify the coxswain's many jobs on the river.  With the collaboration of Paul Nielsen, an associate from Xerox Inc., Richard Kellerman was convinced that he could create one unit to combine the tasks of an amplifier, stroke meter and timer to simplify the coxswain's job. The idea to create a CoxBox amplifier came to Richard after watching a coxswain run his crew into a bridge during a regatta.

1984
In 1984, NK expanded their product line to include the original StrokeCoach stroke meter, designed for scullers and straight boats so that they, too, could know their stroke rate and time. Following the success of the StrokeCoach, NK designed the Chronostroke rate and stopwatch for rowing coaches, and developed and manufactured the original monitor for the Concept II rowing machine. With the development of these four products, NK had grown too large for the ment of Richard's house. In 1985, NK took up residence in an old rayon-making factory in Marcus Hook, PA, developing the Pace Coach and the SpeedCoach over the next 10 years. During this time, NK also redesigned the CoxBox, CoxVox and StrokeCoach to be smaller, lighter and easier to use.

1996
In 1996, NK expanded into a completely new product line by launching a line of wind and weather instruments, called Kestrel® Weather & Environmental Meters. The company was growing rapidly, so once again it was time to move to a larger facility located in Chester, PA. During the tenure at the Chester facility (1996-2004), NK released a total of 4 models of Kestrel Weather & Environmental Meters, as well as added another product to the rowing line, the SpeedCoach Gold, and introduced the Interval 2000 Rate Watch® for the swimming and track and field markets.

2009
In 2009, NK expanded its business and facilities to a brand new manufacturing location in Boothwyn, PA. Along with NK's ever growing staff, the rowing product line has grown to include the easy-to-use SpeedCoach XL. The CoxBox got another facelift making it more appealing and user-friendly. The Kestrel Weather & Environmental Meters family diversified in order to meet the needs of various industry professionals by launching five new Specialty Kestrel Meters.

Looking toward the future, NK is never one to rest on its success. There are many new products currently under development and testing that will become available in the near future. Be sure to keep an eye on this website for the very latest from Nielsen-Kellerman.
