Stylmark Announces Acquisition of Clearr Corporation

Stylmark adds lighted signage products & graphic displays to their capabilities

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. – September 22, 2010 – Stylmark, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of aluminum, steel and lighting products for retail and commercial environments, today announced that it has acquired the assets of privately-held Clearr Corporation.

Founded in 1959, Clearr Corporation is an established world leader in the field of high-impact graphic display products. Clearr’s product line includes a broad offering of backlit displays and lightboxes, poster frames, edgelit displays, and frameless fabric displays.

“Clearr Corporation has been an innovative leader of high-impact graphic display solutions and the acquisition supports Stylmark’s growth objectives,” said Stylmark Chairman David Brink. “The acquisition provides Stylmark additional product lines that will allow us to expand our customer base in our core retail market as well as our developmental markets,” added Brink.

Stylmark and Clearr will continue operations in both Stylmark’s 160,000 sq. foot facility in Fridley and Clearr Corporation’s 40,000 sq. foot facility in Golden Valley and will operate under the Stylmark corporate name.

Recent Product Developments

Clearr Corporation has several recent developments in LED displays that are innovative, exciting, and very environmentally friendly.

In the middle rear is our proprietary laser-etched light-guide panel, which is now standard in our Vantage^® and PlaneLight™ products.

On the right side in the photo are curved LED light-guide panels, one concave and one convex. In the middle front is our EdgeLite^®, which we have offered for many years, but it now has new life due to the increased brightness and energy efficiency provided by the LED's.

The two units on the left side are our light-guide panels placed in EdgeLite^® fixtures, which for the first time allow backlit graphics to be displayed in a "blade" configuration, with only 1/4" thickness!! See the photo below for a closer view, and an explanation follows beneath:


The unit on the left contains only the panel with no graphic. It is in our recessed fixture, which contains the LED driver, and can be recessed into a fixture or table, or into a wall or ceiling, with only the thin cover plate and the panel being visible.

The unit on the right has a graphic attached, and is in our triangular fixture. Small units like this can sit on a counter without additional mounting hardware. Units on counters that are larger, and/or need to be attached to the counter, take a mounting plate extrusion, which slides onto the bottom, extends slightly forward and back from the base, and can have mounting holes.

This fixture also contains the LED driver, and can be mounted so the panels extend up from tables or counters, out from walls, or down from ceilings. We also have a circular extrusion that accommodates the driver. In addition, we have much smaller and more elegant extrusions available for these purposes, if the user is able to mount remote drivers elsewhere, such as inside store fixtures or behind walls.

I am particularly excited about the "blade" concept. These displays can be up to 2' in height (panel height, not including the base), and unlimited in length, except for small seams every 10-14 feet, due to the limits of materials size, as well as for handling reasons. They can be used as very high-end wayfinding signs, complete with background graphics.

They can also be used to display decorative graphics. One example is as a continuous array of fruits, vegetables, or any other topical items in an upscale supermarket, either overhead or extending from walls, or both. The number of uses is endless.

Elegant Edgelit Displays

We at Clearr Corporation are proud of all of our products. There is one product that I am especially attracted to, due to its understated elegance. I'm referring to our EdgeLite® range of high-impact edgelit displays.

Edgelit display, with its high visual impact, simple elegance, and see-through mystique, is increasingly establishing itself as a preferred display medium worldwide. Our EdgeLite® product line is at the forefront of this evolution, with a proprietary high-intensity LED light source, innovative fixtures and mounting configurations, and advanced graphic techniques.

EdgeLite®'s versatility allows it to be mounted vertically or horizontally, displayed as a free-standing countertop unit, extended from walls or columns, or even be mounted to or suspended from a ceiling. EdgeLite® dramatically enhances retail, tradeshow, corporate, architectural, museum, and many other types of display environments.

We have recently switched to all-LED lighting in our EdgeLite® products. It is strikingly powerful and energy efficient, and good for the environment (and your bottom line). The fixture itself can be matched to the wall or ceiling to make it seamlessly blend into your display environment. Just when I thought this product line couldn't get any better—it did.

Panorama™ is an ideal medium for retail, showroom, and trade show display.

Its convex faces, combined with brilliant and even illumination, attract viewers’ attention even from wide angles, and add allure to dramatic graphic presentations.

Panorama™ is available in a wall-mount single-faced model, a double-faced model, for suspending or placing on counters, and a double-faced independent floor-mount model.

The side sections snap open, without tools, allowing for graphic insertion and changes in seconds. The standard finish is satin-anodized aluminum, but the sides may be painted or anodized a variety of colors, one- or two-tone. Bases and caps may also be customized, and non-standard sizes are available.

New Products Lead the Way at Trade Shows

Clearr Corporation recently exhibited at GlobalShop, the Exhibitor Show, and the International Sign Expo. In addition to products from our traditional wide range of high-impact graphic display products, we showcased our recently-introduced LED-illuminated backlit displays, PlaneLight™ and Vantage®. These products are exceptionally eco friendly, and are very low profile.

PlaneLight™ LED-edgelit illuminated panels

PlaneLight™ consists of our proprietary light-guide panel, edgelit with color-correct LED’s. It is designed to be inserted into customers’ own signs and display fixtures. It is available both in standard and curved configurations.

Vantage® single-sided LED-edgelit backlit displays

For a ready-to use product, our Vantage® backlit displays incorporate the same lighting technology as PlaneLight™, plus an ultra-slim profile and high styling aesthetics. Its illumination is the brightest and most even available, and its attractive snap frame makes graphic changes quick, easy and tool free.

StretchLite™ frameless fabric backlit displays

We also offer a wide range of “frameless” fabric displays. Our StretchLite™ is available with either economical fluorescent lighting or with contemporary LED backlighting. Nonlit and outdoor models are also available.

LEDs Light the Way at GlobalShop

For years GlobalShop has kicked off the store design season. Retailers and designers gather together to share ideas and new technologies. This year Clearr Corporation introduced two new products to the marketplace.

Our Vantage^® narrow-profile LED backlit display, which we manufacture domestically, is the brightest LED backlit display on the market. Not only do you get the traditional benefits of energy efficiency and increase life expectancy of typical LED backlit displays, but you also get a unit that rivals traditional fluorescent backlit displays in brightness.

In addition to the Vantage^®, Clearr introduced the PlaneLight™ panel. The panel has all the same benefits of the Vantage^®, but it can easily incorporate into custom displays. The uses PlaneLight™ panel are endless.

For more information on these two dynamic new products, please visit our website at www.clearrcorp.com or contact us at info@clearrcorp.com.

GNC Beefs Up with Clearr Light Boxes

TriOla™ Not Just For Outdoor Use

Clearr Corporation's TriOla™ large format 3-message prismatic displays are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions. Just because they can stand up to Mother Nature, it doesn't mean they aren't housebroken.



These durable trivision displays were also designed to operate with minimal sound. The unwedged cam design ensures a smooth "wave" effect with minimal effort, minimal wear, and maximum reliability. Perhaps more importantly, the transition is barely audible. Plus, the elegant design transitions smoothly into any environment.



So if you want to make a bold statement with your store design with a prismatic display, think TriOla™ by Clearr Corporation. You won't find a more reliable or tranquil trivision on the market.

Clearr Corporation Curve Appeal

Clearr Corporation is breaking all of the rules of tri-vision displays with our innovative TriOla™ Radius product line.


This new display medium combines the proven benefits of prismatic sequential 3-message presentation with the newly-developed element of dramatically-curved faces. This "dynamic duo" commands viewers' attention to its multi-part message presentations.

The convex face captivates viewers at even the most oblique viewing angles, and entices them to change position for a complete view. The cascading motion of TriOla® Radius’s transitions draws even more attention to your message. You may select from a wide number of dramatic radiused configurations to meet your requirements, including concave, circular, circular segments, ovals and parabolas.

We also have an experienced design staff that can bring to life whatever application you can dream up.
