In March 2002, Fortune magazine named 3M the most
innovative company in America. Through this innovation, 3M
has always been, and will continue to be, the leader in
window films.
In 1966, 3M invented window film after receiving the very
first window film patent. Since then, many film technologies
have been patented by 3M. The 3M Company is the only window
film manufacturer to manufacture its own polyesters and
adhesives. Innovations including films with insulation
properties, and films for plastic glazing, have made 3M the
technology leader in the commercial, government,
residential, and automotive markets.
While this past R&D work has fueled its position for
today's market, 3M is busy engineering the films of
tomorrow.
See how else 3M has differentiated itself from the
competition.
