Madico Window Films

Early Beginnings and Evolution

Madico’s journey began over 120 years ago with Hy-Sil, a Boston-based company. Initially focused on producing items such as leather greeting cards and printed gift wrap paper, Hy-Sil expanded into metallized products including ribbons and aluminum foil-laminated paper. This evolution marked the beginning of Madico’s path towards innovation in film products.

Transition to Technological Innovation

The transformation from Hy-Sil to Madico was a pivotal moment, as the company shifted its focus to advanced film technologies. Significant milestones include the first transparent reflective window film in 1948, the introduction of color in reflective films in 1974, and the development of scratch-resistant coating on films in 1978.

Advancements in the Window Film Industry

Throughout its history, Madico has consistently pioneered advancements in the window film industry. In 1979, they launched solar protection films for automotive and architectural applications, followed by anti-graffiti films in 1994. Their commitment to innovation is further exemplified by their extensive open-range blast testing conducted in 1999.
