History

Our expansion into multiple states has been driven in large part by the strategic acquisition of some of the pavement marking industry’s most well-known and highly respected companies. These acquisitions have not only strengthened our geographic presence but have also brought valuable expertise, favorable local acclaim, and decades of experience under our umbrella.

Merging with AAL

Merging with AAL in 2021 was the first step expanding our foothold in the Striping Industry to best serve AAL and SPM’s customers.

Safety Striping Service INC. since 1950, we earn our stripes every day

Acquired in January 2024, Safety Striping Service was a multi-generational family owned company that was founded in 1950. At the time of the SPM/Frontline acquisition, it was the oldest active striping Contractor in the State of California. From humble roots performing maintenance contracts in Santa Barbara County, Safety Striping opened it’s Tulare County corporate office in 1953 and grew into one of the premiere pavement marking Contractors in Central California. Always prioritizing strong trade association partnerships, Safety Striping earned a strong reputation across California (and the nation) as one of the very best in the business.

Acquired in April 2024, Stripe Rite started in 1984 as a small business venture with a few people and a couple of trucks in Auburn, WA. The focus at the time was on installing extruded curb and painting parking lots. Over the years the company grew dramatically and added services such as road striping/pavement markings, line removal, crack fill/sealcoat, reflective markers, traffic control and signage. In an ever-changing market, Stripe Rite remained true to its roots and provided quality work and excellent service no matter what the job. Stripe Rite employees were dedicated and trustworthy professionals motivated to provide the highest level of quality and integrity as an industry leader. Stripe Rite expanded its geographic service coverage to include Washington State, Northern Idaho, and Northeast Oregon.
