Nehia's story

Nehia : 45 years of passion and innovation in visual communication and industry

Watch our video: Company video

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.

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

Nehia’s Commitments

At Nehia, our vision extends far beyond the boundaries of simply doing business. We believe in the impact our business has on society and the environment. That is why we are already taking concrete action with partners who share our desire to make a difference.
We work with Elise, who recycles our paper waste while helping people in need get back into work, and with Hector le Collector, who recycles our food waste for more sustainable waste management. We also support the Sulubaaï Environmental Foundation, which works to restore marine ecosystems.
Our social responsibility is not only focused on the environment, with our inclusive recruitment policy, particularly for people with disabilities. 
We also believe in the power of collective action and dialogue to move forward together. Therefore, Nehia is a member of GIFAS (the French Aerospace Industries Association), as well as TOBC, a regional business club promoting dialogue between business leaders.
These actions demonstrate our commitment to a more inclusive, sustainable future.
