Carney visits Milford sign maker

Milford — Rep. Christopher P. Carney, (D-10,PA), hailed Clarion Safety Systems’ photoluminescent Exit signs as a great way to save energy in buildings of all types, and the lawmaker told employees that such signs should tie into efforts to reduce energy use in federal buildings. The company’s UL 924 signs use no energy and require no conduit or other wiring to install. They recharge daily from ambient light. Clarion’s products are virtually all manufactured by local workers using the highest-grade materials, primarily from 3M. Carney toured the Clarion manufacturing and headquarters buildings on Aug. 17. Clarion President Geoffrey Peckham briefed Carney on the UL 924 Exit signs and their manufacture, as well as the latest technologies for producing facility safety signs and product safety labels. Among other new markets, Clarion has become a supplier to makers of hybrid car batteries, and Peckham told the two-term congressman that Clarion hopes to expand business in this area.
