More than a century of experience

Union Metal has been in business since 1906. Some of our Nostalgia lines use the same designs we placed in towns across America more than 100 years ago. We’ve pioneered ideas like the tapered tubular pole (the monotube) that’s now an industry standard.

During the 1920s and 30s, more than 4,400 towns across America installed their very first electrical light poles – produced by Union Metal.

We also produced the first traffic mast arm pole, and to this day, we’re the leading supplier for state DOT projects across the country.
