Making neon signs takes exceptional skill, patience and no small amount of physical strength. It also requires a creative understanding of the image and message each individual client wants to project. No two jobs were the same. Each presented new challenges, and every successful new sign pushed the limits just a little further – until the neon signs made by Emirates Neon were almost as well known as the multi-national companies who used them.

Hanif’s son Rehan Merchant took control of Emirates Neon in the early nineties, with the clear objective to develop a highly successful family business into a far-reaching international media organisation. Building up sales, driving new processes, expanding the offer to clients from signage into broader media provision - the new company began to spread its wings – adding digital printing, project management, signage construction.
