The universe created the sun. All other lights can be created with PLEXIGLAS®.

The great thing about PLEXIGLAS® is that it is always in impressive shape – to be specific, in precisely the shape you require. That’s because our high-performance plastic can be individually formed, making it possible to create entirely new lighting concepts. PLEXIGLAS® also outshines conventional materials in terms of transparency and durability.

The surprising disadvantage of PLEXIGLAS® surfaces: they turn household appliances into real masterpieces.

Domestic appliances with surfaces made from our high-quality PLEXIGLAS® steal the show from everything else in the house. The completely colorless polymers can be colored and molded in almost any number of ways, opening up entirely new possibilities for designers. And since PLEXIGLAS® is also particularly robust, the appliances retain their good looks.

Light makes the atmosphere. And PLEXIGLAS® makes the light.

Light not only attracts insects and other animals, but also customers. That’s because PLEXIGLAS® can be molded in almost any number of ways, opening up entirely new possibilities for product design. Yet using PLEXIGLAS® also pays off for other reasons: it transmits light very efficiently and is particularly long-lasting and UV-stable.

PLEXIGLAS® opens up entirely new possibilities for designers, because it can be molded and colored in almost any number of ways.
