Descriptiontext

Western Technology, Inc. is a Bremerton, Washington-based manufacturer of portable explosion-proof LED lighting and electric deadman control switches, founded in 1978 to supply hazardous-location and abrasive-blasting work environments. The company's core product platform is the GREEN LIGHTS family — including the BRICK (Model 9610) area/tank light, the BRICKette compact hand-held work light, the STRIKER light head, the BODYLight (the first ETL-certified explosion-proof rechargeable LED work light), the LINKaLIGHT string light, the SIDEKICK inspection light, the BRICKSkid zero-emissions light tower, and the REDHEAD deadman control switch. Products are certified to NRTL/UL standards for Class 1, Div 1 & 2 and Class 2, Div 1 & 2 hazardous locations, emphasizing field-repairability and rugged durability under the 'KICK-IT TOUGH' brand. Manufacturing is conducted domestically in the United States.

The company serves enterprise and government customers across oil & gas (Exxon Mobil, Transocean, Deepwater Pathfinder), utilities (Kinder Morgan, Puget Sound Energy, PG&E), aerospace manufacturing, marine and shipbuilding (including the U.S. Navy), grain processing, environmental services, and the industrial rental channel (Sunbelt Rentals). Sales are executed via a direct B2B enterprise motion with quote-based pricing, supported by phone and email engagement, an inquiry-driven e-commerce storefront, and a heavy trade-show presence across SSPC, WEFTEC, VPPPA, AWWA ACE, NGA, AFPM, and other industry events. In July 2026, Federal Signal Corporation acquired Western Technology as the first deal within its Safety and Security Systems Group; pre-acquisition revenue was approximately $6 million over the trailing twelve months.
