What Professional Pavement Products does

Professional Pavement Products (PPP, Inc.) is a privately held manufacturer of physical transportation safety infrastructure, founded in 1996 by Gregory W. Driskell and headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. The company designs and sells retroreflective devices, modular traffic management systems, wrong-way driving countermeasures, detectable warning mats, and waterborne traffic and airfield paint. Its product portfolio is organized under sub-brands including AlertBrands (MedianAlert, PostAlert 2, PostAlert 4), SaferRoads (RediPave modular medians, ORCA lane separators, Sitecop speed bumps, Traficop speed cushions), LaneAlert 2x (directional wrong-way messaging), GXR (high-performance traffic and airfield paint), and RediMat Duo (ADA-compliant detectable warning systems). Core technology centers on passive retroreflective optics and proprietary material formulations, notably a hybrid-resin waterborne paint that exceeds Fed Spec TTP-1952-F Type I and II, HDPE-based sign enhancement substrates, UV-resistant PVC compounds, and a CleanCut process for customizable detectable warning mats.

PPP serves state, county, and municipal transportation agencies, airfield operators, and pedestrian and cyclist safety planners, with products deployed across more than 1,200 cities, all 50 U.S. states, and over 75 countries. Revenue is generated through one-time unit sales priced in the $14–$40 range for delineator products, with larger modular and paint deployments handled through direct government sales. The company operates a direct e-commerce platform at pppcatalog.com, conducts direct sales engagement for larger specifications, and exhibits at the ATSSA Expo, supplemented by a 'See-It-To-Believe-It' trial program that lets agencies evaluate products in exchange for survey feedback. Certification to MUTCD, ADA/DOT, and federal specification standards functions as a procurement gating mechanism, while the founder-led, privately held structure means there is no disclosed investor base or capital strategy.
