As the only authorised distributor of Perspex® branded acrylic products in Australia, Mitchell Plastics are proud to help celebrate Perspex’s 75th birthday.

For those who are closely involved in the plastics industry, in design, in signage, in shop fitting, in retail, in architecture, in exhibitions, in glazing, in manufacture…….in fact in a whole host of industries and markets, it will be hard to believe that this year, the Perspex® brand celebrates its 75th birthday.

It's hard to believe because Perspex® always has been and continues to be, at the very forefront of all that is new and exciting in plastics technology, innovation and of course inspiration.

It was a slightly different story back in 1934 when ICI, the "new kid" on the chemicals industry block, invented and registered Perspex® as; "synthetic resins sold in the form of sheets, rods, tubes and other shaped pieces", although you could say their invention would inspire generations to come.
