Compared to traditional pole materials, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are more durable, require less maintenance, and provide a longer service life.
Our pultruded composite materials are proudly made in the USA in Birmingham, Alabama.
FRP data are from tests--nominal fiber stress is at 5% LEL; modulus of elasticity is at mean.
