Osram and ThyssenKrupp Plastics working hand in hand on illuminated advertising
Osram and ThyssenKrupp Plastics will be working more closely together on signage. That way, customers benefit not only from the quality of two brand manufacturers, but also from comprehensive service and high-value light solutions, optimally tailored to match the individual requirements of lighting for advertising.
The portfolios of both companies contain flexible, high-performance products and systems, fulfilling virtually any requirement in terms of profiled lettering, light boxes or city-light posters. From more than 40,000 different plastic semi-finished products from ThyssenKrupp Plastics, customers can select the ideal type for the desired advertising vehicle. The product range includes a variety of stocked items in different colors, shapes, thicknesses and surfaces, so that individual needs in terms of dimensions and processing can be fulfilled within a short time frame.
The new solutions from Osram provide brilliant colors for lighting-based advertising – also called “signage” in technical language. Depending on requirements, there are products available which provide back lighting (Boxled Back, Backled) or side lighting (Boxled Side), as well as the LED module Linearlight Flex Protect for ultra-flat displays – all equipped with energy-efficient LED technology.
All modules can be integrated smoothly into the product programme of ThyssenKrupp Plastics. Thanks to the so-called Flat Ray technology, Boxled Back and Backled also provide a homogeneous illumination in the case of very flat systems. The customer’s advantage: compared to the previous series, up to 75 percent of the modules can be saved. This results in lower product and assembly costs. Tools such as "Click & Play" also make a quicker, lower-cost assembly possible: the modules can be integrated into the respective application by means of simply being clicked into place, with the help of an assembly profile.

The collaboration offers customers not only a wide selection of high-value products, but also comprehensive service and consultation: with 20 bases in Germany, ThyssenKrupp Plastics has built up a tightly-knit network for customer care.
