Warning Lites of Alaska, Inc. has been a cornerstone of traffic safety and control solutions in Alaska since its establishment in 1969. Founded by Richard "Dick" Wilson and his wife Marie after Dick's service in the United States Air Force, the company began as a small barricade and sign operation, quickly evolving to meet the demands of a growing Anchorage. Early on, Warning Lites secured essential contracts with local utility companies such as Enstar Natural Gas and the Anchorage Telephone Utility, providing continuous traffic control services.
With the onset of the Alaska Pipeline construction, the company expanded its capabilities by fabricating barricades and signs in-house, actively contributing to roadway safety innovations. Their commitment to excellence led to partnerships with industry leaders like 3M Alaska, ensuring that highway signs met the highest quality standards.
Warning Lites specializes in a wide range of devices and signage that are critical for worker and public safety during Alaska's brief construction season. Their mission emphasizes the importance of quality traffic control and protection of the traveling public while improving infrastructure through dedicated services.
The company also features different divisions, such as Action Sign & Graphics, which offers comprehensive commercial sign services, including wayfinding and custom safety signage. This division has taken on various unique projects, demonstrating Warning Lites' versatility. Additionally, their Unistrut division caters to the electrical and plumbing industry by providing structural materials that have contributed to environmental conservation efforts in local waterways.
Overall, Warning Lites of Alaska, Inc. remains dedicated to fostering a safer environment on Alaskan roads and construction sites, drawing on decades of experience and a commitment to innovative solutions.
