ACRYLITE® Acrylic Used In Mack Truck’s Brand Logo
Color Changing Effects Create Modern, Sleek Appearance
Allen Industries, a Greensboro, N.C.-based sign manufacturing company, used Roehm America LLC’s ACRYLITE® LED color changing acrylic sheet in the production of Mack Truck’s new brand logo.
The refreshed design enabled by the color changing feature of the acrylic sheets aligns with Mack Truck’s present-day, forward-thinking approach to the heavy-duty truck industry and their customers. The unique color changing effect of the acrylic is due to a special pigment formulation that transmits light when backlit.
