What Tech Products does

Tech Products, Inc. is a privately held US industrial manufacturer of durable signage, tags, and markers, founded in 1947 and headquartered at 105 Willow Avenue, Staten Island, NY. The company designs and produces physical identification products for electric utilities, telecommunications carriers, pipeline operators, municipalities, railroad operators, and OEMs, with named enterprise and government customers including American Electric Power, Entergy, National Grid, the Tennessee Valley Authority, Bonneville Power Administration, ONEOK, Tallgrass Energy, BNSF, Frontier Communications, and Volvo Trucks. Its portfolio is organized around four proprietary brand families: EVERLAST injection-molded polypropylene signs, tags, and markers with characters permanently embedded through the full 0.23-inch material thickness; TECH-3D deep-embossed metal plates and tags pressed directly into aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and steel; FASTTAG snap-together miniature identification markers for valves, cables, and conduit; and TechBrite reflective pole visibility products. EVERLAST is the only sign system to be UL tested with NO CHANGE in legibility over 40+ years, providing third-party durability validation that competitors do not match. The company is structured as Tech Products, Inc., a New York corporation, with 51-100 employees and no external funding rounds or institutional investors disclosed.

Tech Products sells exclusively through a traditional B2B direct sales motion, with no e-commerce checkout. Customers request quotes via phone (1-800-221-1311) or website forms, and orders are custom-manufactured to specification at the Staten Island facility. Pricing is opaque and quote-based with no published tiers, and revenue is generated entirely from one-time physical product sales rather than subscriptions or licensing. The company operates only in the United States, with no international footprint, and supports its sales motion with a website, blog, catalog distribution, and social media presence across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn. The company has remained independent and privately held throughout its 77-year history, with no reported acquisitions, divestitures, fundraising, or leadership changes in the available data.

Accessories include mounting hardware (nails, washers, nuts, bolts, cable ties, sign fasteners), tag holders (poly, aluminum, stainless steel), U-channel sign posts, storage boxes, and specialty products like bird flight diverters, lockout-tagout, snow poles, and MUTCD traffic signs.
