OAK BROOK, Ill., Sept. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Federal
Signal Corporation (NYSE: FSS), a leader in environmental and
safety solutions, has been named a Top 100 Finalist in the
Industrial/Manufacturing category of the 2016 Chicago Innovation
Awards. The awards celebrate the most innovative new products or
services in the Chicago region
spanning a number of sectors, industries, and organizations of all
sizes.
The innovation nominated is the Vactor HXX ParaDIGm®, a compact
vacuum excavator that is designed for safe digging and is
purpose-built to suit the needs of companies and contractors
working with and around sensitive buried utility lines and cables
with a speed, precision, and safety unmatched by other
hydroexcavators currently on the market. The user-focused
design of the ParaDIGm combines all the functionality and
performance of a traditional large hydroexcavator with the
versatility of a multi-purpose work truck and the agility of a
small skid loader. It was introduced to the marketplace in June of
2016.
"This is a great honor and reflects our ongoing commitment to
innovation across our diverse product lines," said Jennifer Sherman, CEO. "We believe that the
ParaDIGm, developed with an intensely customer-centric focus and
built with features tailor-made for the utility market, is a
perfect example of what the Chicago Innovation Awards
celebrate. We are thrilled that the judges agree."
This year's Chicago Innovation Awards winners will be announced
during an award ceremony in Chicago next month.
