Dear readers,
major birthdays are always a special reason to celebrate, and in this year Roehm is celebrating the 90th birthday of its flagship brand #Plexiglas. When he entered the brand in the trademark register in 1933, Dr. Otto R?hm, chemist and company founder, laid the foundations for the company’s future success.
The trademark registration was preceded by intensive years of research: Otto R?hm and his team had begun working on the development of plastics at the beginning of the 20th century. Their research enabled them to polymerize methyl methacrylate for the first time. The result was a crystal-clear, hard, and breakproof plastic, polymethyl methacrylate or PMMA, which opened up a whole world of applications. R?hm had it registered as a trademark under the name Plexiglas. Read more
