Every year, awards are made to the best performing companies in Languedoc-Roussillon.

The Company introduced its latest innovations in Digital Imaging at the Visual Communication Salon held in Paris from 18 to 20 September. HEXIS - Master in Exports Founded in 1989 by Michel MATEU, the company recorded a turnover in 2001 of 15.55 million Euros, a large part of which was achieved through exports. The company has three highly successful subsidiaries, one in the United States (HEXIS USA LLC), another the Caribbean (HEXIS French West Indies) and a third Spain (HEXIS GRAPHICS ESPANA). It also has distribution networks in 36 countries. HEXIS - Master of Technological Innovation. HEXIS invested 0.4 million Euros in R&D in 2001, setting up a training and consultancy centre in Digital Imaging for customers and staff. Five highly experienced researchers work in the laboratory, analysing defects in competitive products and improving the quality of in-house products. Particular emphasis is given to studies on ageing. Since 1995, the Letter M, a weekly financial newsletter published in Languedoc-Roussillon with the support of the Axiome Auditing Group, has made awards to the best performing companies in the Region. These awards cover the fields of technological innovation, exports, personnel management, customer relations, growth and financial return. 7 october 2002 HEXIS – PRESENT AT THE EUROPEAN VISUAL COMMUNICATION TRADE FAIR HEXIS (based at Frontignan, Southern France) introduced new supports for Digital Imaging and Computer Aided Cutting in Paris (Visual Communication 2002) and in Madrid from 18 to 27 September 2002. In all, over 20,000 visitors from the world of visual communication discovered the leading position of this Hérault-based company. Incidentally, HEXIS was recognised as the best performing company in the Region for its achievements in Technological Innovation and in Exports (Masters of the Letter M). Digital Imaging makes its mark in Paris "We introduced some fifteen new digital products at the Visual Communication Salon" explains Caroline MATEU, Digital Department Manager. "The Salon put the spotlight on this expanding market, and we met visitors' expectations." Every year, the Visual Communication Salon introduces new techniques and technology for visual publicity operations. This year, 200 French and other exhibitors received over 10,000 visitors interested in large format printers, sign-writing, lettering, distribution and exports. "In Paris our products were introduced to a new clientele: duplicating services and photographic labs. And our existing customers showed considerable interest in supports designed for oil-based inks and pigments." And lastly, HEXIS announced a new range of supports for 2003 that are suitable for ecologically friendly solvents. These products were a star attraction at the Trade Fair. HEXIS SPAIN makes an impression in Madrid The Madrid meeting was quite another challenge for the company: it was a sort of baptism by fire for the HEXIS GRAPHICS ESPANA subsidiary, set up in Valence. Stéphane LACOSTE, Export Director, left the Salon confident: "Visitors had not expected such an extensive range, whether in CAC, Digital Imaging or accessories. The ink-jet range aroused a great deal of interest. It certainly suggests that we are off to a very encouraging next six months!" Thus HEXIS is confirming its ability to adapt to different markets throughout the world and to optimise technological change. The Masters received by Michel MATEU on 23 September 2002 is a just recognition of the work of a creative, enthusiastic team, providing further motivation for future efforts. |
