STC Posts Record Sales for Second Quarter

TEMPE, AZ - 09/01/2009 - Solar Traffic Controls has continued to post record sales through June, 2009. Sales are estimated to be 60 percent higher than the first six months of 2008.

Joe Wise, president, attributes the increase in growth to STC's ability to continue to provide standard equipment and innovative solutions for a wide range of traffic- and public works-related projects. The company has delivered unique system solutions in a timely manner which has helped drive projects to its doors. Some of the major systems installed during the first half of 2009 include:

• Sensor/communications power systems for two West Coast states totaling over 90 units

• Numerous industrial control projects including custom signals for Canadian mine

• School zone systems with the new Driver Feedback urban sign

• Custom flasher/blank-out power systems with communications for Homeland Security

STC has also fielded and is preparing to install several new systems including a "distributed" hawk pedestrian crossing system; pre-emption optical repeater systems; and solar-powered water chiller systems for parks and trails. All these products will be featured on STC's Web site as they are released during the remainder of 2009.

STC has received an increasing number of calls for industrial traffic systems since this specialty system section appeared on its Web site. These systems are for use in manufacturing applications where traditional traffic controls would be too expensive or too difficult to incorporate. These projects generally focus on specific traffic controls issues and solutions for mines, factories, farms and private facilities.
