Signtronix Chooses Sheffield Plastics as Their Primary Supplier of Polycarbonate Sheet for Customer Signs


Sheffield, MA -March 1, 2006-For nearly 40 years, Signtronix has prided itself on designing and manufacturing high-quality signs for small businesses nationwide. Based in Torrance, CA, Signtronix has produced over 600,000 sign units including outdoor electric, electronic message centers (EMCs), indoor signs, letter marquee and headliners.

Signtronix recently switched to a special, high-quality grade of polycarbonate for their custom-made signs. Signtronix now uses MAKROLON®SL Polycarbonate Sheet material from Sheffield Plastics, Inc., a Bayer MaterialScience Company.

According to Signtronix Vice President of Operations Tom Boren, "We chose Sheffield because of their innovative programs and product quality. Signs are an essential part of running a successful business. We provide the highest quality material for our customers who want to be assured their signs won't break, chip or fade over time." High impact strength MAKROLON Sheet is virtually unbreakable with many times the strength of acrylic to sustain wind, hail, storms, blowing debris and vandals. MAKROLON also features superior light transmission for brighter whites and less yellowing.

MAKROLON®SL is a durable, UV stabilized sheet with exceptional weatherability and superior impact strength that is easy to fabricate, thermoform and decorate. MAKROLON SL meets stringent UL Section 48 criteria for indoor and outdoor electric signs.

Signtronix has built its organization around a core commitment to exceed customer expectations coupled with a corporate dedication to quality. "Utilizing superior materials for our signs was a conscious decision to provide our customers with the best," Boren concluded. "We use MAKROLON because our customers get stronger, more durable, brighter displays for their businesses."
