Trevose, Pa.-based Penn Emblem Company received the 2026 Network Association of Uniform Manufacturers and Distributors (NAUMD) Innovation Award for its glow-in-the-dark silicone emblem technology.
The award-winning design, the Centurion FR Silicone on Glow-in-the-Dark, combined advanced silicone molding, intricate detail and functional low-light visibility. According to NAUMD, the emblem “pushes the frontier of emblem design” by combining “detailed FR logo artistry with a functional glow-in-the-dark silicone backing.”
“Silicone has been dominating the emblem market for the past few years, so our goal was to take it to the next level,” said Rich Hirsh while accepting the award on behalf of Penn Emblem. “Seeing it go from concept to a finished product and now to this stage is incredibly rewarding for our whole team.”
The company’s silicone emblems feature embossed 3D dimension, waterproof flexibility and wear resistance for uniforms, promotional products and branded apparel.
