GRP Poles Manufacturer in India
Easy-to-install, low-maintenance lighting solutions
Aeron Composite is a trusted partner in infrastructure projects, supplying GRP poles in accordance with EN 40-7 and ASTM D4923. A distinguished GRP lighting pole manufacturer, we produce poles with multiple installation types, localized wind resistance, and zero-rust performance.
GRP lighting poles are cost-effective and safe alternatives to metal poles. They are easier to install and maintain, are naturally non-conductive, and have a long operational lifespan. Lower total cost of ownership, be regulatory compliant, and onboard a Greener lighting system solution with our FRP lighting poles.
GRP Poles Installation
Our GRP poles support both prevalent types of pole installation processes.
- Root mounting: Direct burial mounting where the pole can be inserted into the hole dug without the need for a sophisticated or special base plate. The hole is backfilled with soil or concrete mix for stability.
- Flange mounting: Preferred in urban settings such as parking lots and highways where root mounting is not feasible. The GRP lighting pole is affixed to a concrete pad or steel base and secured with anchor or J-bolts for stability.

Our GRP Poles Manufacturing Process
We manufacture our GRP lighting pole and FRP lighting poles using the following processes.
- Pultrusion: This is our primary manufacturing process for poles up to 6 meters in length. The process begins with feeding fiberglass rovings into a resin bath for impregnation, after which these fibers are pressed into shape and heated.
- Filament Winding: This production process is reserved for GRP poles of 7 meters and above. Resin-soaked fibers are uniformly wound around a rotating mandrel at constant speeds and at controlled angles to produce uniform pole profiles.
GRP Poles Testing
We test our lighting poles in accordance with, and for the following:
- ASTM D4923 (guidelines for reinforced thermosetting plastic)
- ASTM D2584 (ignition loss of cured reinforced resins)
- ASTM D3917 (dimensional tolerance for reinforced thermosetting plastic)
- ASTM D696 (rate of plastic expansion with change in temperature)
- Barcol hardness and acoustic emission tests
- Ultraviolet (UV), thermography, and radiography testing

FAQs
Why choose GRP poles over metal poles for lighting systems?
GRP poles, made from a composite of fibreglass and resin, are as strong as steel but only half as heavy. This makes transportation, installation, and maintenance easy and cost-effective. Furthermore, GRP poles don’t conduct electricity.
Do you manufacture seamless poles or modular GRP poles?
We primarily manufacture seamless GRP poles made from continuous fiberglass rovings. Modular GRP poles are currently a work in progress.
Do you also manufacture PVC poles or only GRP poles?
We currently only manufacture GRP/FRP poles because of better strength-to-weight ratio and superior fire resistance capabilities.
Is Aeron Composite only a GRP poles manufacturer?
No. Aeron Composite also manufactures fiberglass moulded gratings, GRP pultruded gratings, FRP cable trays, and a wide range of FRP profiles. We also manufacture FRP rebars and FRP rods for fiber optic cables.
What’s the MOQ for GRP poles?
The MOQ for GRP poles varies, based on resin matrix, glass-fiber grade, and Incoterms selected. For an MOQ tailored to your project, consider reaching out to us at the earliest.
