Valtir Acquires QWICK KURB to Expand Roadway Safety Portfolio
Addison-based infrastructure leader Valtir has finalized the acquisition of QWICK KURB, integrating the manufacturer's modular lane separation and channelization systems into its global catalog. The move, effective September 1, consolidates two major players in the highway safety sector to bolster protection for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians across North America.
The addition of QWICK KURB brings specialized surface-mounted technologies into Valtir’s existing lineup of guardrails, crash cushions, and steel barriers. Key products now under the Valtir umbrella include The Big Bollard, Mega Marker, and various vertical median separators. These systems utilize interlocking curb sections paired with reboundable panels designed to return to an upright position after vehicle impact, serving critical roles in bike lanes, narrow medians, and railroad quiet zones.
Nick Verska, CEO of Valtir, noted that the acquisition directly supports the company’s objective to offer the most comprehensive range of safety products available to contractors and government transportation agencies. By folding QWICK KURB into its broader distribution network, Valtir intends to scale the reach of these channelization systems to a wider international market. The integration marks a significant expansion for Valtir, which has maintained a presence in infrastructure safety for over 55 years.
