Enseignes & Néons

What Enseignes & Néons does

Enseignes & Néons (legal entity Sas E.N. Communication) is a France-based custom signage and large-format digital printing company founded in 2006 in Istres, Bouches-du-Rhône, employing 14 people as of 2025. Its product portfolio centers on three pillars: custom shop signs (luminous and non-luminous, 3D relief letters, totems), interior and exterior wayfinding signage (plaques, adhesive markings, accessibility and evacuation signage), and high-definition large-format digital printing up to 3.2m wide using 100% solvent-free latex inks, complemented by window/vehicle wrapping, construction-site panels, event signage and decorative stretched/acoustic canvases. All products are designed in-house via an integrated graphic-design studio and fabricated in the company's own workshops, with professional on-site installation and maintenance. The business model is project-based, quote-driven (24-hour quote turnaround), and combines field sales to SMEs, mid-market and large enterprises across France and internationally with a B2B-only e-commerce storefront for materials. In 2025 the company entered the ETG group via a strategic alliance that pairs its Provence digital-printing and field expertise with ETG's Brittany engineering and mechanical workshop, positioning the combined group as a national reference player in signage and signaling, with Éric Gardet continuing as director and becoming a partner/shareholder of ETG alongside Stéphane Moy.
