When McCain joined SWARCO nearly 2.5 years ago, we were excited to be part of something bigger — a global family of companies that share our entrepreneurial and innovative spirit. A company comprised of passionate individuals dedicated to creating solutions that promote safety and mobility, and ultimately improve quality of life. As a part of the SWARCO family, McCain is one of 80 companies and more than 3,700 transportation professionals inspired to create a better way, every day.
And now we have even more reason to celebrate as SWARCO reaches a milestone anniversary and turns 50 this year! Cheers to half a century of offering solutions that support tomorrow's mobility and make our communities more livable.
What it Means to be Part of SWARCO
McCain and SWARCO were a great fit right from the start, sharing similar family-owned structures and a relentless dedication to providing the very best customer support. So when we were acquired, SWARCO's goal was to help us keep doing just that, maybe even better. They made investments in our team members and production facilities, and granted us access to all of the great minds and solutions from across all of our sister companies.
Here are just a few highlights from what being part of a global family has meant for us, and hopefully, to you.
Dynamic Message Signs
Offering countless benefits over competing tech, the first thing we onboarded was a full suite of Dynamic Message Signs, powered by SWARCO's world-proven precision-optic technology.
Collaboration and Innovation
Leveraging technology and people has never been easier with over 3,700 traffic professionals worldwide working with the same mantra - The Better Way. Every Day.
Connected Vehicle Trials
Partnering with SWARCO helped us further spearhead infrastructure support for connected and autonomous vehicles, as well as land a role in the first US-based C-V2X trials.
More About SWARCO
In 1969, Manfred Swarovski walked into a bar in Mexico and left with a plan. Later that year, he founded his first factory in Austria producing glass beads used to create superior reflectivity in road markings.
Building on that foundation, SWARCO now offers one of the most complete solution portfolios for road markings, intelligent transportation solutions, signage, urban traffic management, parking, highway and tunnel management, and more.
