Federal Signal Completes Acquisition of Standard Equipment Company Downers Grove, Illinois, October 7, 2024 — Federal Signal Corporation (NYSE: FSS) (“Federal Signal” or the “Company”), a leader in environmental and safety solutions, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets and operations of Standard Equipment Company (“Standard” or “Standard Equipment”), a leading distributor of specialty maintenance and infrastructure equipment for municipal and industrial markets.

Standard’s comprehensive suite of product and service offerings also includes rental equipment, used equipment, parts, and repair and maintenance for key product lines. “The acquisition of Standard further builds upon our aftermarket growth strategy that was originally put into action in 2016 and adds an experienced team with deep regional knowledge and great familiarity with Federal Signal products”, said Jennifer L.

We are excited to welcome Standard and its employees to the Federal Signal family.” The transaction includes an initial purchase price of $38.8 million, subject to certain closing adjustments, as well as a contingent earn-out payment of up to $4.8 million that is based on the achievement of certain financial targets over a specified performance period.
