Pelco Structural, LLC

What Pelco Structural, LLC does

Pelco Structural, LLC is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of custom steel poles and structures, operating from a single 192,000-square-foot state-of-the-art fabrication facility at 1501 Industrial Blvd., Claremore, Oklahoma. The company designs and makes made-to-order tubular steel poles across four product families: Utility (transmission poles rated up to 765kV, distribution poles, substation structures, and rapidly deployable helix-foundation emergency structures), Traffic and Lighting (traffic signals, decorative poles, lighting poles, and sign structures), Sports Lighting, and Communication. Engineering is project-specific, with finishes ranging from weathering steel to galvanized, painted, or powder coated, and raw steel is sourced on a just-in-time basis from the nearby Tulsa Port of Catoosa.

The business runs on a quote-based, project-driven revenue model, with each pole or structure engineered to customer specifications rather than sold from a catalog. Pelco sells directly to enterprise and government buyers, including electric utilities, transmission developers, state DOTs, municipalities, telecom carriers, and sports-venue operators. Distribution is handled by the company's own licensed private carrier fleet, which delivers poles directly to installation sites at the date and time requested, eliminating intermediate yard handling. Certifications from OSHA (SHARP), AWS, AISC, and CWB underpin bidding eligibility for regulated utility, DOT, and telecom work. Headcount is reported in the 101-250 range, and the ownership structure is independent and private, with no disclosed institutional, private equity, or venture capital backing.
