history
In 1894 Gustav Adolf Pfleiderer founded a timber and rafting business in Heilbronn am Neckar . In 1957 concrete mast production starts in Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate . In 1975, plastics production was expanded in order to start producing centrifugal masts made of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP). In 1980 the company took over a steel mast factory in Regensburg and began producing solid steel masts . Production facilities in Dinkelsbühl and Berlin were acquired in 1989. The production of conical and cylindrical steel light poles began. Two years later, the production of supports for architectural buildings began and the largest sling bench in the world was commissioned in Neumarkt for spun concrete masts up to 36 m in length.
In 1996 the Spanish subsidiary PESA Telecom SA was founded (today PESA Europoles SA in Tarragona / Spain). Two years later, Europoles opened a sales office in Warsaw / Poland (today Europoles Spz oo), relocated cylindrical mast production from Berlin to Dinkelsbühl and in 1999 founded a branch in Lille / France (now Europoles SARL). At the end of 2004, the medium-sized VTC Industrieholding from Munich took over the mast production that had previously belonged to the Pfleiderer Group. At the beginning of 2005 the company renamed Pfleiderer Europoles GmbH & Co. KG and introduced a new company logo.
In 2007, Europoles took over the Swiss company Nivatec GmbH (today Europoles Suisse GmbH) and expanded the range of services with lowering systems for floodlight systems . In 2008, Europoles built its own production facility for spun concrete poles in Oman. In the middle of the same year, the mast manufacturer took over the coating company Merckx Oberflächentechnik from Werl (North Rhine-Westphalia), which from then on operates under the name of Eurocoatings GmbH . The former affiliation to the Pfleiderer Group was finally removed on November 19, 2008 when the company was renamed Europoles GmbH & Co. KG .
In 2013, Europoles took over the Polish company Kromiss-Bis (now Europoles Kromiss).
From April 2014 to September 2015, Europoles delivered 614 concrete columns for the Great Mosque of Algiers .
On October 11, 2018, the company filed for bankruptcy under self-administration .
