What Pole-Tech does

Pole-Tech Co., Inc. is a specialty manufacturer of flagpoles, banner poles, architectural spires, and related tubular pole products, headquartered in East Setauket, New York. Founded in 1985, the company operates from a 100,000+ square foot manufacturing facility on 7.3 acres, applying cone-tapered tubular production techniques refined across three generations. Materials processed include aluminum (6063-T6 alloy), Type 316 stainless steel, carbon steel, CDA 230 bronze alloy, and fiberglass, supporting both standard catalog products and custom-engineered installations backed by an on-staff licensed professional engineer.

The core product set spans commercial and institutional flagpoles, fire department slide poles, antenna poles, siren poles, security camera poles, osprey nesting poles, architectural spires, and Bollard Covers (introduced in 2020). Pricing is project-specific and quote-based, with no disclosed subscription, recurring service, or licensing layer.

Revenue is generated through one-time product sales plus installation and repair services. Notable reference projects include the Washington Monument, Empire State Building, MetLife Stadium, the 1996 and 2002 Olympic Games, the U.S. Coast Guard, West Point, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and Rockefeller Center.
