Identity Group

What Identity Group does

Identity Group is a Nashville-based, privately held limited liability company (Identity Group, LLC) that manufactures custom signage and delivers interior brand environment solutions for enterprise customers across the United States. The company offers a broad product portfolio spanning hotel and resort signage, ADA-compliant regulatory signs, visual decor, exterior and monument signs, workstation signage, and 3D-printed ADA signs, supported by end-to-end services including Matterport site surveys, design and planning, professional installation, and debranding/restoration. Its notable technical capabilities include the patent-pending IGX and IGX+ augmented reality digital wayfinding platform (developed through a software partner), in-house 3D FastLane printing with 5-day lead times for ADA-compliant signs, and ADA-compliant manufacturing meeting federal character contrast and tactile specifications.

The company monetizes through three primary revenue streams: custom signage manufacturing sold via multi-year enterprise contracts and project-based sales, standard and stock signage sold through a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront, and professional services for branded environment design. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales, a rep locator network, an e-commerce site, and a wholesaler/reseller channel. Customers span hospitality (Marriott across ten-plus sub-brands, Hyatt, Radisson, Choice Hotels, Wyndham), retail (Macy's, Amazon, Staples), grocery (Hannaford, Stop and Shop), healthcare (Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health), financial services (Truist), sports (NFL), and corporate technology (Salesforce, Keurig). The company holds 251-500 employees, operates multiple manufacturing plants across the country, and maintains industry affiliations including SEGD, AIA, Global Recycled Standard, and the MindClick sustainability rating.
