ENG History

ENG's 32-year history has witnessed monumental changes in infrastructure, resources, facilities, offices and manufacturing capacities. Created by Hanif Merchant in 1976, and previously known as Emirates Neon Group, the company has continually assessed and reassessed the operating procedures and has steadily paved the way for a metamorphosis from a sales focused Emirates Neon into a brand name of ENG (Emirates Neon Group) synonymous with the highest standards of quality and professionalism.
