The reflective products industry has seen significant advancements in safety and visibility technologies over the years. Two of the leading names in this field are Reflexite and ORALITE, but what exactly is the relationship between them?
Founded in 1963, Reflexite became a pioneer in the development of high-performance reflective materials using microprismatic technology. Their products significantly improved light reflection efficiency, making them ideal for use in safety gear, road signs, and vehicle markings. Reflexite gained global recognition for its lightweight, durable, and highly reflective materials that comply with international standards like ANSI, EN, and ISO.
In 2011, Reflexite was acquired by Avery Dennison, a major player in the reflective materials market. This acquisition helped Reflexite expand its reach and capabilities. However, the story doesn’t end there. In 2013, ORAFOL Europe GmbH, a global leader in the development and production of high-performance films, acquired Avery Dennison’s reflective business, which included Reflexite.
Today, ORALITE is ORAFOL’s flagship brand for reflective materials, incorporating Reflexite’s pioneering microprismatic technology. Under the ORALITE brand, Reflexite’s innovations continue to serve industries requiring enhanced visibility and safety, including road safety, personal safety gear, and more.
So we can see Reflexite is now part of the ORALITE brand under the ORAFOL Group, and their combined expertise ensures that high-quality reflective products continue to enhance safety worldwide. Some of our reflectors are made of ORALITE Reflexite materials to match EN17353.
