Located in over 35 countries, and with 40 locations in the US alone as a result of a merger with ASI in 1993. ==Brief history== The first product was architectural models of residential houses and industrial layout planning. The original concept of architectural models did not live up to sales expectations and in 1965 the development of planning boards was completed into a significant market success. The demands for this were considerably heavier and a solid basis for future development was created. In 1974, the first sign system known as Interior 10 was introduced to the marketplace. This was a flexible sign system which received the ID Prize (Design via Innovation award). Many changes and improvements to Interior 10 allowed for further development of the multiple sign families, which exist today. With 1984 came a new business unit to Modulex which was to focus on the use of technology within signs. The development of a product based on Interior 10 called ‘EDS 700’ was introduced. From this point on, many developments occurred in the electronic sign field which gave us the Ariadne product available today. 1992 saw a change in the sign needs by creating a sign style known as ‘Paperflex’. Paperflex allowed computer generated pages to be inserted into a sign, making change and updates easier than the typical vinyl and text method used commonly in similar signage manufacture. ==Design and Manufacture== All manufacture is based at the headquarters in [[Billund]], [[Denmark]]. All products are manufactured in-house. The designs are all based around a module concept, where any number of ‘modules’ can make up any sign, allowing flexibility. Users can create signs to cater most needs by using this module system. Located in over 35 countries with 40 locations in the US alone, Modulex has an international network. ==Products== Modulex products with painted aluminum surfaces are treated with Bio Cote (Silver Based Antimicrobial Technology). The [[silver ion]]s are added to materials at the manufacturing stage. This results in an active concentration of silver ions on the surface of the products. The silver ions cause functions in the [[bacteria]] to break down. This results in the [[bacteria]] being unable to reproduce and therefore inhibits bacterial growth. ==References== {{Self-published|date=November 2009}} {{More footnotes|date=November 2009}} *'''[http://www.modulex.com/ Modulex Official Website]''' Shows information about product and services available *'''[http://www.asimodulex.com/ ASI-Modulex Website]''' US Architectural Signage Solutions Partner *'''[http://www.thewayfindingplace.com/sponsors/asimodulex/ The Wayfinding Place]''' Modulex are a sponsor to this information based blog site which discusses relevant issues in modern wayfinding. *'''[http://www.modulex.org/ Modulex.org]''' Modulex reference site.
