Hog

In 1988, our Founder James P. Crocker launched what would later become HOG Technologies, the global leader in pavement maintenance solutions; designing, supplying and supporting equipment for safer roads and runways all around the world. What began as a modest pressure-washing company soon gave way to a grander vision and the foundation for a world-class manufacturing business focused on Safety, Reliability and Productivity was born. 
 
In the early 2000’s, as Waterblasting Technologies, our flagship Stripe HOG was developed and deployed to our first customer, WJ, in England. In 2007 Pittsburgh International would become the first Airport to own a Stripe Hog; it was quite literally the runway from which our future as the industry leader would take flight from. This would help us to become a trusted supplier to more airports, domestically and internationally, than any other manufacturer of Runway Rubber Removal equipment. Over time, the company’s focus expanded to include equipment to serve other pavement maintenance requirements such as Pavement Markings and Grinding/Milling for marking removal, rumble strips, and recessed pavement markers.  As a result of continued innovation and growth and having a truly diverse portfolio of solutions, Waterblasting Technologies became HOG Technologies in 2019, and the HOG brand was born. 
 
With a focus on continued growth and manufacturing excellence, Vince Giordano assumed the role of President in 2023 and together with James drove the business forward. In 2024 HOG Technologies reported its best financial year ever.   

In February 2025, HOG Technologies was acquired by Federal Signal Corporation, a global leader in Safety Signal and specialty truck manufacturing. This acquisition would give HOG Technologies newfound resources and support to continue its quest to being the best, safest, and most profitable road and runway equipment manufacturer in the world.  
 
While the company’s ownership has changed, the vision and culture at HOG remain the same.
