Nylex Plastics

Nylex Plastics, founded in 1947, was an Australian manufacturer of plastic goods.[1] The company went into liquidation in 2009.[2]

Nylex's brightly colored Bessemer line of informal tablewares was common in Australian homes in the 1960s.[3]

The Nylex Clock, erected in 1961, remains a prominent feature of the Melbourne skyline, visible from various parts of Melbourne, including the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
