The business

Federal Signal Corporation (FSIG) designs, manufactures, and supplies integrated products and solutions for municipal, governmental, industrial, and commercial customers worldwide. Founded in 1901 and reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1969, the company operates 26 principal manufacturing facilities across five countries and employs approximately 5,800 people, with roughly 60 percent of its U.S. hourly workforce represented by unions. The company website is www.federalsignal.com.

Federal Signal operates through two reportable segments: the Environmental Solutions Group and the Safety and Security Systems Group. The Environmental Solutions Group manufactures and supplies street sweepers, sewer cleaners, industrial vacuum loaders, vacuum- and hydro-excavation trucks, high-performance waterblasting equipment, road-marking and line-removal equipment, refuse collection vehicles, dump truck bodies, trailers, and multi-purpose maintenance vehicles under brands including Elgin, Vactor, Guzzler, TRUVAC, Westech, Jetstream, Blasters, New Way, Trackless, and Ox Bodies. This segment also provides parts sales, service and repair, equipment rentals, and training through service centers across North America. The Safety and Security Systems Group manufactures and supplies public safety equipment such as vehicle lightbars and sirens, industrial signaling equipment, public warning systems, and general alarm and public address systems under the Federal Signal, Federal Signal VAMA, and Victor brand names, with manufacturing facilities in the United States, Spain, the United Kingdom, and South Africa.

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. In 2025, Federal Signal completed acquisitions of Hog Technologies, New Way Trucks, and Kinloch Equipment & Supply, all integrated into the Environmental Solutions segment to expand product offerings and market reach.

Fund ownership counts N-PORT filers only, so it is a floor rather than a census — pensions, insurers and direct holders are not visible here, and the remainder is not “held by individuals”.
