DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Federal Signal Corporation (NYSE: FSS) (the "Company"), a leader in environmental and safety solutions, today provided an update on its manufacturing facility in Streator, Illinois following a tornado that impacted the area on June 11, 2026.
Initial assessments indicate that the facility sustained no structural damage and all employees are safe, with no reported injuries. The Company continues to evaluate conditions, but operations at the facility are ongoing with no material disruption to production.
"The safety of our employees and the broader Streator community is our current priority," said Jennifer L. Sherman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are deeply relieved that our team members and facility came through this event unharmed. Our thoughts are with everyone in Streator who have been impacted by this storm."
The Company is closely monitoring the situation in the surrounding community and will be reaching out to local leaders and organizations to identify ways to support recovery efforts.
The Company also announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire certain assets and operations of Western Technology, Inc. ("Western Technology").
Based in Bremerton, Washington, Western Technology is a manufacturer of proprietary portable explosion-protected lighting solutions for mission-critical applications, serving end-customers across industrial processing, petrochemical, and aerospace and defense industries, where regulatory compliance, reliability, and safety are paramount.
Over the last twelve months, Western Technology generated revenues of approximately $6 million.
"Over the last several years, the organic investments we have made to structurally strengthen our Safety and Security Systems Group have set the stage for future profitable growth, inclusive of M&A. On that note, we are thrilled to announce Western Technology as our first acquisition as we begin to execute on our inorganic growth pipeline within our Safety and Security Systems Group," said Sherman.
"The acquisition broadens our industrial signaling equipment portfolio by expanding into the portable explosion-protected lighting solutions market for hazardous applications, where Western Technology has built a niche market-leading position. As we integrate Western Technology, we are excited to leverage the power of our platform to drive synergies spanning sales channel alignment to enhance the reach of Western Technology's products, operational efficiency improvements leveraging our existing U.S. manufacturing operations, and new product development."
The transaction is expected to close in the next 90 days, subject to customary closing conditions.
