Our new school sign

Uppsala, Sweden - 2025-08-01

After long and extensive development work, Pointguard is launching the new School Sign. Model 525 is a completely redesigned fifth-generation school sign and has been reworked from the ground up to be robust, reliable, and easy to maintain.

The sign complies with the Swedish Transport Agency’s regulations (1970:340) and, like the previous model, uses low-power yet bright LED lighting that provides even, pleasant illumination.

Model 525 features four orange LED blink-lights, now protected inside the sign—a key improvement over the previous model. This protects the lights from weather, wind, and washing.

As with Pointguard’s previous school signs, this model is spring-loaded, meaning it automatically folds down with the wind at higher speeds—minimizing noise and fuel consumption.

Pointguard creates new taxi light for Taxi Kurir

However, the new courier light has its own unique design with contrasting illuminated zones in Taxi Kurir's decorative colors of white and blue. It is slightly raised from the roof and, with Pointguard's special magnetic mount, it almost looks like it is flying above the roof. Isn't it stylish? Read more...

Another driving school chooses Pointguard

Fujairah, UAE - 2016-01-27

Pointguard's new roof rack, Euroline, has become very popular among driving schools, and now the Fujairah National Driving Institute in Fujairah, UAE, has also chosen Euroline because of its high quality, aerodynamic design, and stylish appearance.

The Euroline sign is made of high-quality plastic that is highly scratch-resistant and UV-resistant. The plastic parts are produced in Sweden in the same factory that also manufactures parts for Koenigsegg's world-famous sports cars. The sign gets its strong and even lighting from Pointguard's proprietary LED modules, which guarantee optimal visibility even at night. Although the base of the sign is orange in the picture above, Euroline is available in any color when ordering a larger quantity.

More taxi companies are choosing Pointguard's Streamer

Uppsala, Sweden - 2011-11-15

More taxi companies are discovering the advantages of Pointguard's taxi light (taxi sign) “Streamer”. Arvika-EDA Taxitransporter and Taxi Touring (Vetlanda) have recently switched to the new light. Uppsala Taxi, Miljötaxi Trelleborg, and Taxi Allians in Karlskrona, among others, have already chosen Streamer.

One of the major advantages of Streamer as a taxi sign is that, thanks to its aerodynamic design, it is very fuel efficient compared to other taxi signs/taxi lights on the market. The unique shape also allows for a completely different design than is possible on a more traditional taxi light. Read more about Streamer here.

Pointguard supplies magnetic mounts for Kockum Sonics

Sweden - 2011-11-04

Pointguard has been commissioned by Kockum Sonics to supply custom-made magnetic mounts for the TYFONIC ET500 mobile warning sound emitter. Kockum Sonics' unique omnidirectional warning sound emitters are used by the police in disaster response operations, among other things. In such situations, it is important to reach the population quickly, which means that the sound emitters must be able to be mounted on police car roofs immediately.

Pointguard's magnetic mounts are ideal for this purpose as they are easy to place on the roof, provide a strong hold, and can then be removed without leaving any marks on the car.Pointguard's magnetic mounts are very popular in the taxi industry, and this project is a good example of how they can also be used in many other industries.

New base plate for Toplights

Uppsala, Sweden - 2011-02-21

The new, flexible “Click and Go” base plate is now standard for our Toplights models. Pointguard can now offer the new generation base plate, Click and Go, for most of our standard Toplights models. The Click and Go system has been developed with the aim of making it easy for our customers to attach and remove the roof light from the car without having to assemble/disassemble the entire unit.

The Click and Go system consists of two different plates: an upper plate and a lower base plate. The base plate contains the lighting, which of course consists of the latest LED technology. The transparent upper plate is attached to the cover, so when you want to install/remove the cover, you just need to slide the cover with the upper plate over the base plate.

Miljötaxi in Trelleborg chooses Pointguard's Streamer

Pointguard lanserar Taxiprislista.se

Uppsala, Sweden - 2011-02-14

To make it easier for taxi customers to get an estimate of the cost of taxi journeys, the Swedish Transport Agency has decided on new regulations for the price information displayed in and outside taxis. To make it easier for taxi companies to comply with the new regulations, Pointguard, in collaboration with SWEBI (Swedish Business Innovations), has developed an online solution for ordering taxi price lists online. At www.taxiprislista.se, taxi companies can easily, quickly, and flexibly create and order their own price lists. When it is time to update the price list, the company can log in to taxiprislista.se, change the prices, and have new price lists sent within a few days.

Pointguard delivers new roof lights to Taxi Borås

Borås, Sweden - 2011-02-10

The “official” model for SVEA Taxiallians members, the Toplight ST model, will now also be used by Taxi Borås to illuminate and strengthen the company's brand as well as SVEA's brand in the region. Like many of the other companies that use this model, Taxi Borås has chosen Pointguard's unique and environmentally friendly magnetic mount to reduce both fuel consumption and emissions. The light will, of course, be powered by the latest version of light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

Uppsala, Sweden - 2010-09-23

Pointguard's head office is located in the old industrial property “Ekeby Bruk” in Uppsala. During 2010, Pointguard has renovated new office premises (above the old premises) in order to expand our printing and workshop facilities and at the same time gain a larger demonstration room and warehouse. We hope to move into the new premises at the end of the year, and you are of course welcome to drop by and take a look at our new demonstration room if you are in the area!
