Don Potter’s 25-year background producing and manufacturing extremely high quality acrylic products and his expertise in sourcing polymer products provides a creative Director of Manufacturing

 
 
Illuminated Lightpanels was established, with three principals who have extensive expertise in the various technologies that combined to develop and produce the highest quality edgelit lighting panels. It was determined that the panels needed to be produced in the US to insure quick turn around, lower freight costs and the ability to customize each order.
 
 

Illuminated Lightpanel’s manufacturing capacity now consists of three etching-lasers; our newest and largest laser has a bed size of 72” x 120”, allowing us to manufacture some of the largest lightpanels available. As a high-quality plastics fabricator, we also have a large-format CNC router that can work with 2” thick material and the plastic forming machinery and polishing  equipment that is necessary to produce displays for nationally known cosmetic and perfume retailers. We have manufactured (both) single-piece orders and very large projects and have met every delivery date. Recently, we supplied nine hundred 36.5” x 63” lightpanels for a major electronics company for their store-in-store displays. These panels were shipped within five weeks of our receipt of the purchase order.

Another   (recent) project was for eighty 72” x 32”, magnetic-frame lightboxes with a special color finish, in under six weeks. We are limber enough and have sources deep enough to allow us to design and manufacture custom project very quickly. We are continually are developing new methods of manufacturing to meet the increasingly unique needs and delivery dates of our clients.
