Press Release: Yunex Traffic Becomes First Traffic Controller Manufacturer to Achieve NEMA BABA Process Certification

  • Yunex Traffic invested in U.S. manufacturing by relocating hardware production to Austin, Texas, and building a domestic supply chain that meets Build America, Buy America requirements.
  • Traffic agencies can confidently specify Yunex Traffic hardware for federally funded projects, helping streamline compliance with domestic content requirements.
  • The certification reinforces Yunex Traffic’s commitment to delivering innovative, U.S.-manufactured technology for connected and intelligent transportation infrastructure.

AUSTIN, Texas, October 1, 2026 – Yunex Traffic today announced it has achieved Build America, Buy America (BABA) certification of compliance with domestic content requirements across its manufacturing operations and qualifying product portfolio.

As part of this achievement, Yunex Traffic becomes the first traffic controller manufacturer to receive NEMA Make it American® process certification, marking a significant milestone for the transportation industry.

The certification validates Yunex Traffic’s commitment to U.S. manufacturing and compliance with domestic content requirements established under the Build America, Buy America Act. It also provides transportation agencies and contractors with independent verification that qualifying Yunex Traffic products meet federal requirements for infrastructure projects funded with federal dollars.

Achieving certification represents the culmination of a significant investment by Yunex Traffic to transform its hardware manufacturing operations. To meet BABA requirements, the company relocated hardware production to Austin, Texas, strengthened its domestic supply chain, and worked closely with suppliers to source qualifying components across its controller and roadside unit product lines.

“Achieving BABA certification is the result of a deliberate investment in our customers and in the future of U.S. transportation infrastructure,” said Marshall Cheek, Managing Director of Yunex Traffic North America. “We relocated manufacturing to Austin, Texas, strengthened our domestic supply chain, and worked closely with suppliers to meet the rigorous requirements of the Build America, Buy America Act. This effort spans our hardware portfolio and reflects our commitment to providing agencies with high-quality, compliant technology manufactured in the United States.”

The certification applies to Yunex Traffic’s U.S. manufacturing operations at its Austin, Texas facility, where M60 and Yutraffic Blade controller platforms and connected vehicle roadside units are manufactured. These technologies support agencies as they modernize intersections, improve mobility, enhance safety, and prepare for the future of connected transportation.

As transportation agencies continue to invest federal infrastructure funding in roadway modernization projects, compliance with Build America, Buy America requirements has become an increasingly important consideration in procurement decisions. BABA certification helps simplify the compliance process by providing independent validation that Yunex meets applicable domestic content requirements.

“While we’re proud to be the first traffic controller manufacturer to be on the NEMA Make it American® BABA registry, what matters most is what this means for our customers,” Cheek added. “Agencies need trusted partners that can help them maximize available infrastructure funding while delivering reliable, future-ready technology. This certification provides confidence that Yunex Traffic is ready to support those efforts.”

The achievement marks another milestone in Yunex Traffic’s ongoing investment in North American operations and reinforces the company’s commitment to helping cities and transportation agencies build safer, smarter, and more sustainable transportation networks.
