About us about us

For over 45 years, PANO has been a key player in visual communication and signage. Our history is marked by a bold vision, solid values and constant evolution, reflecting our ability to anticipate and meet the needs of our customers worldwide.

A history of innovation and passion

The PANO adventure began in 1980, in a signage workshop near Bordeaux. Since then, our group has continued to evolve, driven by a clear vision: to combine innovation, technical know-how and network spirit.

This collective dynamic continues to drive PANO’s growth, both in France and abroad.
