American-Made. American-Sourced. Lasts for decades.
We believe in excellence. That means easy to use safety products that won’t crack, crumble, or corrode. We believe in manufacturing that cleans up our shared American backyard. We also believe that we’re a team of innovators. That means everyone from the Founder on down to the folks on the factory floor help improve our products and processes. That’s why we make safety products for parking lots, municipal roadways, construction sites, and industrial plant operations the way we do. And the following three manufacturing methods are how.
How We Build Safety
Compression Molding
For our products that need to stand up to the toughest tests nature, modern roadways, parking lots, worksites, and industrial sites can provide, we use compression molding. Fine rubber granules (known as crumb rubber) are coated with polyurethane, blended, and then placed into a heated mold cavity. Once the mold is closed, high pressure and heat form the material into a solid, heavy-duty component. We believe in the longevity of our compression-molded products so much, we give them our Limited Lifetime Warranty. Examples include our sign bases, Portable Electric Cable Support Towers (or Cord Trees), and flexible municipal curbing systems.
Injection Molding
The more complex or multi-part a product is, the more likely we are to use injection molding for its high accuracy, repeatability, and consistent process. We melt specially formulated recycled thermoplastic materials and inject them into a precision injection mold under high pressure. Once cooled and hardened, the part is ejected for assembly, post-processing, or shipment. This is perfect for our most innovative, proprietary products. Examples include our wheel stops, speed bumps, speed humps, and speed cushions.
Profile Extrusion
For products with long, linear, uniform shapes we can use profile extrusion and maintain continuous production with minimal waste. That helps clean up our shared American backyard even more. We melt down recycled rubber or plastic compounds and force them through a custom profile die to produce flexible or rigid profiles in continuous lengths. These profiles are then cut to size and integrated into a wide range of product systems. We can customize the hardness, flexibility, and shape. Examples include our spill containment berms, ramp systems, and hose and pipe ramps.
We settle for nothing less than zero waste
Everybody talks about “sustainability” nowadays. What they mean is using our shared natural resources wisely, with minimal waste and minimal damage to the environment. We like to think of it as cleaning up our shared backyard. Our factory doesn’t produce any waste to burden a landfill, and our products don’t contain any toxic chemicals that could leach into our groundwater. We use post-consumer and post-industrial rubber and plastic so it goes into something useful instead of the ground. We want to tell our grandkids we cleaned up the world so they could enjoy it. And we did it while keeping our fellow Americans safe.
