A Tradition of Innovation
More than 40 years ago, W.J. Whatley Inc., introduced a fiberglass filament-wound light pole. The design offered several valuable advantages compared to conventional products. The fiber-reinforced composite pole was non-corrosive for long-life performance and non-conductive for enhanced safety. Its revolutionary low-weight-to-high-strength ratio offered easy, economical installation while delivering exceptional durability.
Today, the Whatley product family is part of Valmont Industries, Inc. Leveraging Valmont's knowledgeable, in-house technical expertise and global resources, Whatley is a leader in supplying composite light poles and lamp posts to municipalities, developers, electrical engineers, landscape architects, and governmental agencies from coast to coast.
