Nehia's story
Nehia : 45 years of passion and innovation in visual communication and industry
Decorating, enhancing, making the most of your space, and using it to communicate... these are the raisons d'être of Nehia, heir and successor to more than 40 years of history. It all began with an inspiring entrepreneur: Jean-Marc Hodé, a sign painter who founded Enseignes Hodé in Toulouse. After joining the company for the first time in the early 1980s, Philippe Dubois returned in 1999 to develop digital printing and oversee diversification into industry branding and marking.
He took over the reins in 2012. Following on from previous years, he continued to develop visual communication while accelerating the roll-out of industry masking and marking. In 2015, with the acquisition of HD34 in Montpellier, Enseignes Hodé expanded the business to the whole Mediterranean basin. Then, in 2018, we acquired another excellent family business – PIEM – specialist trade retailers of paint, equipment and tools for treating surfaces. Its founder, Jean-Claude Cayla, supplied the paint for Concorde.

A family business
We are a business with a family spirit, committed to serving our customers and maintaining close proximity with them.
Our family business structure has fewer levels of management, allowing faster decision-making and more effective, transparent communication between employees.
This proximity also strengthens our teams’ commitment to customer satisfaction.
“In order to provide stability and a long-term vision, which are essential for our employees and customers, this family business is rising to the challenges of our time.” Philippe Dubois
