What Transpo Industries does

Transpo Industries, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned transportation infrastructure and safety products manufacturer founded in 1968 and headquartered in New Rochelle, NY, with a manufacturing plant in Berwick, PA operated through its wholly owned subsidiary Castek Inc. (incorporated 1992). The company designs, manufactures, and distributes specialty materials and hardware used in bridge preservation, pavement markings, and roadway/airport safety, organized into three operating divisions: a Distributor Group that is the largest distributor of Valtir LLC highway safety products in the Northeast United States, a Road Safety Products division, and a Materials and Precast Polymer Concrete division.

The product portfolio is anchored in proprietary Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) chemistry and polymer concrete formulations, including the Color-Safe pavement marking system, T-17 polymer concrete for rapid runway and bridge repairs, T-70 and T-78 crack sealers, Ebond 526 and T-18 overlays, Armour-Guard waterproofing membranes, and the T-28 high friction surface treatment. Road and airport safety hardware includes Pole-Safe and Break-Safe frangible breakaway supports, Screen-Safe glare screens and pedestrian crossover deterrents, Blast-Safe jet blast barriers, and a range of MASH-tested energy attenuation devices. Multiple products carry FAA, AASHTO, MASH, and ICAO approvals, with Pole-Safe listed in the FAA Airport Circular and ICAO Aerodrome Design Manual.

The business model is a hybrid of in-house manufacturing of proprietary chemical and mechanical systems and third-party product distribution (notably Valtir crash cushions and energy attenuation devices). Revenue is generated primarily through project-based hardware and material sales to government customers — state DOTs, municipal transportation agencies, transit and port authorities, airports, and USACE/military — via a network of regional sales representatives and distributors covering all US states and Canadian provinces. The company maintains ISO 9001:2015 certification and is led by the founding family, with Karen Dinitz as President and Karen Liu as CFO.
