Optical Utility Marker (OUM) is a company owned by two individuals with over 40 years of combined utility experience. The owners have personally dealt with the frustration of trying to locate valves and have seen the damage caused if valves cannot be shut down quickly. They have first-hand knowledge and experience with the ease of installation and the benefits of valve markers. Acquiring a smaller organization, Z Markers, allowed OUM to branch out and continue a steady path to growth.
Optic Utility Marker (OUM) products are American-made, durable plastic that doesn’t fade, tear, or crack over time. Once secured in place with adhesive, the markers will last for years. Markers installed in 1992, when the product was first introduced, are still functioning well. Today, OUM Markers come in various colors and reflectors. The combination of colors for these markers are nearly limitless with refelctive materials also made in an array of colors, including the standard white reflector.
