Shakespeare's 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, durable light pole that has revolutionized the lighting standard industry. Over the years, our continued innovation has developed proprietary and custom formulated resins, coatings and assembly techniques (for example, on Breakaway poles), to achieve unmatched quality and durability.
Shakespeare is the leading brand of composite light poles in North America. With a superb Tuff-Pole product offering and great selection, Shakespeare customers can access most everything they need for light poles, lamp posts, and custom lighting structures. A new Shakespeare capabilities brochure for composite light pole products and accessories is available.

Shakespeare customers enjoy the many advantages composite light poles, transmission and distribution poles, crossarms, perimeter safety fencing and other custom-composite structures offer. A fiberglass reinforced composite Tuff-Pole won't rust and will often outlast wood, aluminum, steel and concrete poles under the same climatic conditions. Insects won't eat them - there's nothing about fiberglass composites that any insect finds tasty. Woodpeckers won't attack them, either, so repairs or replacements for insect and woodpecker damage are reduced to zero.
