About HEXIS ...
HEXIS SAS are a major manufacturer of self-adhesive films for visual communication, objects customization and surface protection.
Since its foundation in 1989, HEXIS have successfully held their position as the French leader in the sign and digital printing industry despite fierce international competition.
HEXIS have 2 manufacturing sites: one at our headquarters in Frontignan (Hérault department), and one in Hagetmau (Landes department). At a time when the “Made in France” label needs to be promoted, HEXIS have been working for many years to highlight French know-how in our factories, thus supporting employment in France and contributing to environmental protection. The HEXIS Group employs 464 people around the world, including 350 in France.
HEXIS know-how
The company specializes in high-performance self-adhesive cast PVC, polyurethane and latex films and offers highly innovative solutions for professionals of digital printing, signage, visual communication, vehicle wrapping and textile marking.
The applications for these products are billboards, the decoration of premises and objects, signage, light boxes, markings for vehicles (cars, trains, trams, boats, planes,…), objects and textiles, lamination, etc.
Today, the market for adhesive films is diversifying rapidly. Customisation and made-to-measure tasks for our highly technical films are increasingly common. New markets are emerging, with the use of adhesive film in design, decoration and both interior and exterior design.
For several years now, HEXIS has marketed an entire range of products for industrial projects.
We also market adhesive films, to both replace paint and protect surfaces on high-speed train carriages, regional trains and trams in both France and abroad. Similarly, the wagons of the Paris and London undergrounds are covered by HEXIS, making it possible to combine both aesthetic coherence and protection against degradation.

The Research & Development department
HEXIS devotes 2.5 % of its turnover to R&D, and employs 20 people in its laboratories. HEXIS has a laboratory on both of its production sites, for both R&D and quality control.
State-of-the-art analyses guarantee the quality of our products. To do so, we assess:
-
Elongation and breaking load
-
Colour conformity
-
Surface roughness
-
Peel force
-
Immediate adhesion (“tack”)
-
Final adhesion to the support
-
Stability over time (in a heat chamber and in “QUV”)
After France … the world!
Through diversification and the high added value of technical films, HEXIS has taken up the challenge of globalisation and today exports half of its production all around the world thanks to its 10 subsidiaries and its distributors.
One avenue for international development for HEXIS is subsidiaries: creation, integration or external growth.
