HISTORY

In 1970, APIA shifted its focus towards
corporate signage and set about its strategy
by buying two metalwork factories.

APIA grew further by taking over a plastics production centre.
By integrating all the stages involved in signmaking, APIA became the leading producer of corporate signage in France and began to work with large corporations :

oil companies,
car manufacturers,
banks,
insurance companies...

In 1980, APIA went through a rationalisation process which involved bringing all its production facilities together on a single site in the centre of France.
The new factory in Vierzon constituted one of the first large industrial sites in Europe for signmaking.

In the 1990, APIA became a European company, firstly by following its current clients beyond the borders of France, and then by using its network of partners and its industrial production capacity to conquer European markets.

Since the turn of the century, APIA has continued to evolve with the development of new specialities and territories that respond to meet the point of sale needs :

2001 : APIA ISO 9001-2000 Certification; partnership with the Romanian company APILUX.
2003 : incorporation of TAILLIBERT, a specialist in manufacturing commercial furnishings and shop fittings.

A global package to support your merchandising, marketing and communication.
