The Spark: Listening Where It Matters Most
Instead of guessing what the market wanted, Tom and George made a defining choice:
“We listen to the crews before we touch a design.”
That choice still guides us today.
Every product begins with real conversations and real experiences – standing beside the people who rely on visibility to stay safe. We believe innovation shouldn’t start in engineering; it should start with the people who actually use the product. Their challenges, their feedback, and their lived experience shape our direction long before any drawings or prototypes exist.
As one visionary once said, you start with the client experience and work backward to the technology.
That’s the heart of SWS: user-driven, field-informed, purpose-built.
Because when lives are on the line, the right place to begin is always with the people out there doing the work.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
John RodriguesThe City of Ottawa
We’ve been working with SWS for over 13 years. During this time the quality of their products has been excellent! Products are always available within a reasonable time and the customer service has been amazing. I would definitely recommend SWS!
Drew BrownThe City of Regina
SWS has been exemplary in their products and quality. 95% of our fleet utilize SWS warning products, The warranty and communication when required has been a great experience. ( however, in our fleet, I don’t know of any warranty ever been used). The SWS staff truly know their product in all aspects. The vast amount of Titan products we have deployed in the fleet have not shown any issues over years of use and outdoor Canadian-weather abuse. Put simply, it always works! The intensity of the modules has been a major plus for us, especially in poor winter visibility. No other product we have had or tested punches through the snow and fog like these do. I highly recommend the Titan line to other fleets and properties around the country.
Eugene RomaniukThe City of Winnipeg
SWS has been providing excellent products and customer service to the City of Winnipeg for about 12 years. They have provided us with custom ‘Devils Fork’ arrow boards. We now buy about 10-12 a decade. SWS even provided a specific part number for us. We would absolutely recommend this company!
Dave BrownThe City of Oakville
We have been purchasing products from SWS for over 10 years. Their products demonstrate excellent quality and variety to cover our fleet needs. They always provide excellent customer service and follow up on inquiries and will routinely call to inform us of new items. They even moved a wire location for us to assist in a mounting issue we had with a light. I would recommend SWS!
Damien SwackhammerWilcox Bodies
SWS has been an integral part of the Wilcox solution, since prior to my joining the Wilcox team in 2008. Their packaging and products are always great! Although we have never needed a custom solution, the team has done a great job at forecasting potential options. The staff is always prompt, courteous and amicable. Solutions and answers are always provided in a timely manner. I always recommend SWS!

TRAFFIC DIRECTOR
Positioning traffic directors correctly on the backs of emergency vehicles is critical to ensuring that traffic flows safely and efficiently. However, high-mounted traffic directors can block other indicators such as a third brake light, compromising traffic safety.
SWS Warning Lights developed the perfect solution to help maintain traffic safety.
