About Emirates Neon Group!

The Emirates Neon Group (“ENG”) is a market leader in signage and outdoor advertising.  Their mission is quite simple: to be the very best at corporate communications and brand awareness.  Since their inception in 1976, they have aimed to be associated with nothing but the highest standards of quality and professionalism.

Founded by Mr. Muhammed Hanif, a merchant from the United Arab Emirates, with only 27 employees and a dream, ENG quickly became one of the premier sign making firms in the Middle East.  Their first big break came when they signed a contract with Emirates Petroleum in 1980 for their filling stations throughout the UAE.  During the 1980s, they expanded throughout the UAE, notably opening a branch in Abu Dhabi.  Throughout the 1990s, their business started to take off, opening a Tri-O-Vision (a three faced revolving sign on a billboard) at Al Ahli stadium in Manama, Bahrain, and in 1998 ENG was awarded the contract to provide signage to the Emirates Office and Hotel Tower in the rapidly growing city of Dubai.  Since the year 2000, ENG has experienced very rapid growth and expanded into diverse regions around the world, including the United Kingdom, Egypt, Kenya, Pakistan, China, and other countries in the Middle East such as Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain.

Emirates Neon Group

The ENG products are as diverse as the art of signage itself.  They can design and manufacture everything from neon signs to LED illuminated signs, modular sign systems, stone signage, and more.  They also manufacture traffic signage and industrial safety signs.  Large scale outdoor mediums are another forte of ENG’s, essential to product building and brand awareness.  Finally, ENG offers a consulting service to help potential customers decide which service is right for them.

ENG has a reputation for innovation and is currently working on digital and interactive signage for the digital age.
