We are pleased to announce the acquisition of Barricades and Signs, who are now a part of the Universal Group family of traffic management companies.
Barricades and Signs, headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, began operations in 2004 and have grown extensively over the years focused mainly on central Canada, with offices in Edmonton, Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg and Vancouver. Barricades’ current service offering of traffic control equipment sales, rentals and sign manufacturing is complimentary to what Universal currently provides. However, Barricades also brings to the Universal Group an expanded offering of products namely crash cushions, guardrail and steel barrier just to name a few. This will allow Universal to expand our “one stop shop” strategy to all our combined customers.
This acquisition is a significant milestone for Universal as we can now offer our services and products across Canada with now having branch offices in Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Our combined resources and teams will give our clients further support with their traffic management needs while also allowing our employees increased opportunities throughout our extensive branch network. Our employees will be further supported with training and development, human resources, safety and operational resources.
This demonstrates our commitment to continue to support our customers and employees and achieve our strategic goal of being the largest national provider of traffic management services.
