  TAPCO takes pride in the many products and services we have provided for over fifty years. However, the achievement for which we are most proud is our record of bringing new levels of safety to the entire traffic industry. That is why we say that TAPCO is in “The Business of Safety”. We have made it a mission to make roads safer for all of us. We consider the “MAKING ROADS SAFER” worldwide campaign an everyday part of our corporate culture.

  Even though the issue is not on the agenda of many public officials and is largely ignored by the public, the number of people who die in car crashes in the United States every year is staggering. At the 2006 casualty rate of 800 soldiers per year, the U. S. would have to be in Iraq for more than 50 years to equal just one year of automobile deaths back home. If you made a yearbook containing the photos of those killed in automobile accidents this year, putting 12 photos on a page, the book would have 3,500 pages. Roads and intersections need to be made safer. Pedestrian crosswalks, particularly in school zones, have to have more attention paid to the safety of our children. These roadway issues and many others are what drive every TAPCO employee to be in “The Business of Safety”

  To this end we strive to produce and distribute products that maintain this ideal of safety. Our sign shop turns out volumes of quality signs that are second to none. Our patented line of MUTCD-approved BlinkerSigns® offer a level of safety and conspicuity unheard of just a few years ago and are offered exclusively through us. We design, provide, install and service all equipment necessary for intersection control throughout the entire state of Wisconsin. Our TAPCO-made line of patented V-Loc breakaway support systems safely break away on impact and saves lives nationwide. These NCHRP 350 and MUTCD-approved post anchors are specified as the anchoring system of choice for many municipalities and State DOTs. We continually find solutions to safety situations that our competitors can not. Municipalities and parking structure operators across the nation rely on TAPCO for their commodity needs as well as their most difficult traffic-related scenarios.

  Another TAPCO initiative is to lead the way in “Green” products, meant to provide cost effective and environmentally conscious solar alternatives to 110V powered equipment. Our history of distributing recycled steel posts, rubber and plastic car stops, humps/bumps, and many other parking and traffic control products has resulted in millions of pounds of waste being put to good use every year. This is another often forgotten issue that is a TAPCO priority. We are always looking to find fresh and innovative ways to incorporate recycled products into our product mix.

  This catalog represents the world of TAPCO today. However, in an industry that changes by the minute, we will be issuing another, updated catalog within a year. You may also check for new products on our websites. We truly appreciate your continued patronage and look forward to another 50 years of providing safety to the world.

  Since 1956 TAPCO has been leading the way in providing high-quality, innovative and Green/Traffic Calming environmentally friendly products for your Traffic Control and Parking Control needs. Our history with these products has given us a half-century of experience and expertise that we hope to share with you.

   We manufacture Traffic Signs carefully by hand, silk screening them one at a time. We use only the best materials, including 3M™ Reflective Sheeting and UV-resistant inks exclusively, to ensure your signs will remain readable and highly reflective for years to come. And if you want to manufacture your own signs, we have all the Sign Production Software, Hardware and Materials you’ll need.

   Our Traffic Calming Devices and Parking Control Products allow your city or business to enhance vehicle and pedestrian safety in parking lots and on streets, helping to keep traffic flowing smoothly and safely. Our StreetScape Products include attractive and functional lighting, poles, brackets and other related hardware. But our product line goes much deeper than Sign Posts. Our Federally approved, crashworthy V-Loc Sign Post Anchors  for signs and mailboxes make these devices as safe as they can possibly be. If you can’t find the product you need, contact us or visit our other web site, tapcostore.com. 

   "Making travel safer, around the world", is important to us here at TAPCO. Let us help you make your community a safer, greener place to live!
