          position, Calibaba said, which includes re-
        
        
          branding the company under the ATS Traf-

            TRAFFIC PRODUCTS
          
        
        
          The company has three primary services,
        
        
          he explained. Along with manufacturing
        
        
          traffic signs out of three plants, they spe-
        
        
          cialize in the resale of traffic products —
        
        
          the company sells over 15,000 items —
        
        
          and also provide on-street services where
        
        
          traffic technicians deliver traffic control
        
        
          equipment, set up construction zones and
        
        
          even stay on site if needed. The latter ser-
        
        
          vice is provided 24 hours a day, seven days
        
        
          a week in the event of emergencies like
        
        
          watermain breaks or spills. The business
        
        
          is a steady one, less affected by the re-
        
        
          cent economic downturn than other com-
        
        
          panies across Canada since provincial and
        
        
          federal governments continue to invest in
        
        
          infrastructure and construction carries out
