Jessup Manufacturing

Jessup Manufacturing Company has been producing adhesive-coated films and photoluminescent safety products from McHenry, Illinois since 1956. Its Glo Brite line covers the egress side of life safety: UL 924 listed exit signs, photoluminescent egress path marking, and safety signage used to satisfy the means-of-egress provisions of the International Building Code, the International Fire Code, and NFPA 101.

Photoluminescent exit signs solve a specific compliance problem. They charge from the ambient light already in a building and stay readable during a power loss, so they need no electrical circuit, no batteries, no lamps, and no radioactive tritium. That removes the inspection, battery-replacement, and hazardous-disposal burden that comes with electrified and tritium signage, which is why they show up in stairwells, parking structures, and facilities where running power to a sign is impractical.

Jessup manufactures in the United States and lists a country of origin per part number in its published specification charts. We carry the Glo Brite exit sign series and source it directly from Jessup.
