The Shakespeare Composite Structures Story

Shakespeare Composite Structures' first innovation in the composite light pole business was to originate the composite light pole.  Building logically on the fiberglass reinforced composites technologies developed for other products, the company's engineers scaled the manufacturing processes up to create a strong light pole that has revolutionized the lighting standard industry. 

Over the years, our continued innovation has developed proprietary and custom formulated resins, coatings, and Shakespeare-patented assembly techniques (for example, on Breakaway poles), to achieve unmatched quality and durability.

After more than three decades, hundreds of thousands of our composite poles stand tall from coast to coast in every conceivable application, weathering every storm, every season.  Impervious to the elements. Our fiberglass retains its lustrous beauty for generations, and its flexible strength stands stubbornly in the strongest winds.
