Tolar Manufacturing Company celebrates 30-year anniversary
Tolar Manufacturing Company (Tolar Manufacturing) is celebrating 30 years of connecting communities through the design and fabrication of bus shelters, rail stations and other outdoor furniture.
The company is commemorating tits 30-year milestone with a year-long celebration with remembrances of past accomplishments, as well as featuring existing and upcoming projects that have been and continue to be creative, durable and create a Sense of PlaceTM for their communities.
Since celebrating 25 years in business in 2016, Tolar Manufacturing has worked to improve its technology, introducing new products such as the SmartPlaceTM transit shelters.
“The SmartPlace shelters are popular among transit agencies and police departments, giving them the ability to view inside the shelters at night, and create a safer environment for the riders," said Tolar Manufacturing Founder Gary Tolar. "We also have the ability to integrate charging stations in these shelters and are even working on a wireless charging station option for future projects.”
He continued that the company now offers options when powering these shelters with hard-wires and solar power with a back-up battery.
Tolar Manufacturing says it produces more than 35 percent of domestic transit street furniture focusing on the design and fabrication of transit shelters, outdoor digital advertising displays, solar bus stop solutions and sustainable public space amenities. The company operates out of a 53,000-square-foot facility in Corona, Calif., and at peak produces up to 125 shelters a month.
