About FUCHS Europoles
FUCHS Europoles GmbH, headquartered in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz, produces masts, towers, columns and support systems made of reinforced concrete, prestressed spun concrete, steel and glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP). Production ranges from standard and custom designs to hybrid mast systems for individual projects and mass production. Using the exclusive strand tensioning process, spun concrete masts up to 36 m in length are manufactured with high strengths and concrete grades. The service spectrum extends from engineering and planning through building permit procedures, production, delivery and foundation work to turnkey assembly as well as maintenance and renovation. Customer industries include renewable energies and distribution grids, digital infrastructure, transport infrastructure, building construction as well as lighting and advertising. More than 1.5 million completed projects worldwide, including 614 concrete columns for the Great Mosque of Algiers, document the project work. Headquarters and production site is Neumarkt i. d. OPf. with a highly modern production facility opened in 2022; further branch offices exist in Germany, Dubai and St. Gallen.
