The 60s and 70s

By the 1960s with the development of translucent plastic sheets (cast acrylic), the company expanded into other areas of sign and display manufacturing including the development of indoor point of sale. Gaelite designed many signs utilising press moulding and reverse illumination, which was leading edge technology in it's day.

In the 1970s Gaelite started to deal more with national companies with multi-branch networks. We produced most of the outdoor images for companies in the drinks, petrol and retail sectors, and have worked with some clients for over 30 years, maintaining these relationships to this day.
