US intelligent transportation systems manufacturer Signal Group is expanding its investment in North America with the acquisition of a controlling interest in Oregon-based Northwest Signal.

Northwest Signal manufactures and sells adaptive traffic software, controllers, traffic cabinets, poles and sign structures throughout the North Western United States.  Signal Group already owns 101 Peek Traffic Corporation, Signal Telecom, Rayolite and part of the family of traffic companies that include Semex in Latin America and says the investment will ensure the long term availability of Peek Traffic products to the territory.

Rolando Garcia, chief operating officer of Signal Group, stated: “The investment in Northwest Signal is consistent with our longstanding commitment to the North American market, particularly in the areas of advanced traffic management and manufactured infrastructure.  The addition of Northwest Signal to the Signal Group family of companies brings us closer to the end users we serve, and allows for an immediate technology exchange that will accelerate our participation in the controller market space.”
 
“We are very pleased to join Signal Group,” said Bob Frame, managing director of Northwest Signal.  “This partnership provides Northwest Signal greater access to the resources necessary to grow our business throughout the region. The combined portfolio of products manufactured by Northwest and Peek, together with other respected products we market to our customers, offers a truly powerful and convenient resource to the marketplace.”
