DSM wins 2009 ICIS Business Innovation Award for claryl picture glass
Nicolaas Viets, platform director Functional Coatings, gave the following comment: “Having invented a one-step optical anti-reflective coating for float glass, we decided that instead of marketing the coating, we would enter the market ourselves with a branded mid-priced picture-framing glass to capture more of the value from the innovation. With ®claryl on sale in 1,500 framing shops in 15 European countries and preparations for a US market launch for 2010, this approach has proven to be successful.’ . . The ICIS Innovation Awards, now in their sixth year, are designed to recognize those companies that have made significant steps forward through R&D, with tangible results emerging during 2008 and the early part of 2009.
