Myers and Sons Hi-Way Safety

What Myers and Sons Hi-Way Safety does

Myers and Sons Hi-Way Safety Inc. is a privately held, USA-based manufacturer and distributor of traffic control and work-zone safety equipment, founded in 1970 and headquartered in Chino, California, with 101–250 employees. The company serves traffic-control contractors, construction firms, and state Department of Transportation agencies — most notably as a Caltrans authorized fabricator and distributor — through three concurrent revenue streams: catalog hardware sales (signs, cones, barricades, warning lights, safety apparel, striping supplies, K-rail), equipment rentals, and certified professional installation and custom-sign fabrication. Products are designed to comply with Federal MUTCD, California MUTCD, and ASTM D 4956 reflective-sheeting standards across multiple durability grades.

The core operating model combines in-house USA manufacturing of a significant share of the 588-product catalog with retail partnerships for the balance of the assortment. The customer-facing channel is a WooCommerce-powered direct e-commerce storefront at hiwaysafety.com, supported by phone-based custom-order quoting and a separately staffed Southern California installer/rental operation. Underlying technology centers on regulatory-compliant sign fabrication, traffic-cone engineering (UV-stabilized PVC, weighted bases with anti-adhesion geometry), and made-to-order sign production — physical-product engineering rather than software or platform technology.

The business has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no public-market listing. Ownership is not disclosed beyond the independent "Inc." corporate structure, and the firm shows no social-media, app, or API surface. Competitive positioning rests on the Caltrans authorized-fabricator status, the breadth of the 50-plus-year catalog, and the bundled manufacture-retail-rental-installation offering concentrated in Southern California with distribution reach into broader California and beyond.
