March 2002, Fortune magazine named 3M™ the most innovative company in America. Through this innovation, 3M™ has always been, and will continue to be, the leader in window films.

In 1966, 3M™ invented window film after receiving the very first window film patent. Since then, many film technologies have been patented by 3M™. The 3M™ Company is the only window film manufacturer to manufacture its own polyesters and adhesives. Innovations including films with insulation properties, and films for plastic glazing, have made 3M™ the technology leader in the commercial, government, residential, and automotive markets. While this past R&D work has fueled its position for today's market, 3M™ is busy engineering the films of tomorrow.

See how else 3M™ has differentiated itself from the competition.
