The company generates approximately 79 percent of net sales in the United States, with the remaining 21 percent from international customers. Federal Signal sells through a combination of dealer networks and direct sales channels depending on product type and customer geography. The company maintains a backlog of $1.04 billion as of December 31, 2025, with the Environmental Solutions Group typically experiencing two to eight months of backlog and the Safety and Security Systems Group experiencing approximately two months.
