Acqius Advises Western Technology on Its Sale to Federal Signal Corporation
1 Jul 2026
Acqius advised Western Technology on its sale to Federal Signal, expanding Federal Signal's industrial lighting portfolio in hazardous environments.
Acqius, a specialist M&A advisory firm, is pleased to announce that it acted as exclusive adviser to Western Technology, Inc. on its sale to Federal Signal Corporation (NYSE: FSS), a leader in environmental and safety solutions.
Under the terms of the transaction, Federal Signal has acquired Western Technology, a Bremerton, Washington-based manufacturer of proprietary portable explosion-protected lighting solutions for mission-critical industrial applications. Western Technology’s products serve end-customers across the industrial processing, petrochemical, erospace and defence sectors, where regulatory compliance, reliability, and safety are paramount.
The acquisition enables Federal Signal to broaden its industrial signalling equipment portfolio by entering the portable explosion-protected lighting market for hazardous environments, a niche in which Western Technology has established a market-leading position.
Throughout the process, Acqius worked closely with a team of professional advisers, including SBBB (www.sbbb.com), which provided specialist accounting and financial due diligence support, and PRK Law (www.prklaw.com), which provided legal counsel in connection with the transaction.
Rob Whorrod, Acqius CEO commented: “Western Technology is an outstanding business with a differentiated product offering and a well-earned reputation for quality and reliability in some of the most demanding environments in industry. We are proud to have guided the Western Technology team through this process and to have secured a transaction with a partner of Federal Signal’s calibre, whose platform and distribution reach will provide a compelling foundation for the business’s continued growth.”
Jim Giese, WT President added: “The Acqius team brought deep sector knowledge, sound strategic guidance, and strong execution discipline from start to finish. Their ability to identify the right partner and manage the process with professionalism gave us great confidence throughout.”
The transaction underscores Acqius’s continued focus on advising businesses across the industrial technology and safety solutions sectors.
