Federal Signal Corporation, founded in 1901, was reincorporated as a Delaware
corporation in 1969. The Company designs and manufactures a suite of products
and integrated solutions for municipal, governmental, industrial and commercial
customers. The Company’s portfolio of products includes sewer cleaners,
vacuum trucks, street sweepers, waterblasters, safety and security systems,
including technology-based products and solutions for the public safety market.
In addition, we sell parts and provide service, repair, equipment rentals and
training as part of a comprehensive offering to our customers. Federal Signal
Corporation and its subsidiaries operate nine principal manufacturing facilities
in four countries around the world and provide products and integrated solutions
to customers in all regions of the world.
Products manufactured and services rendered by the Company are divided into
two major operating segments: the Environmental Solutions Group and the Safety
and Security Systems Group. The individual operating businesses are organized
as such because they share certain characteristics, including technology, marketing,
distribution and product application, which create long-term synergies. Corporate
