ALUMINIUM MULTI-FUNCTION AND ARCHITECTURAL LIGHT POLES FOR SMART CITIES

UA NEWS

01 PRODUCT LAUNCH

Urban Aluminium launched its new Multi-Function Smart Pole range at Lighting and Smart Controls Conference the International Conference Centre in Darling Harbour, Sydney in April 2019.

The internationally attended Conference covered many Smart City innovations and was a great platform to unveil the new range of Smart poles and IoT accessories. Our thanks must go to Signfy who provided us space on their stand.

02 FLAGTRAX

Urban Aluminium is pleased to announce that we have signed a distribution agreement to supply the FlagTrax™ banner raising system on our Multi-function Smart poles as well our decorative architectural poles.

The growth of decorative and advertising banners on light poles in the public domain highlighted a costly problem whereby the changing of a fixed banner required elevated work platforms, road closures, traffic controls and many other compliance issues.

For this reason, FlagTrax™ was developed to enable banners to be changed from ground level using a patented push/pull system.

FlagTrax is a product of Nexus Developments from New Zealand and is also available on our sister company GM Poles products.

03 OUR 1000th POLE

On 24th June 2020 Urban Aluminium dispatched its 1000th pole. The pole was part of a third order of poles destined for the Smart City roll out in Griffith in regional NSW.

Congratulations to our teams in NSW, WA, SA, QLD, and Tasmania who helped achieve this milestone.

04 NEW CNC MACHINE

July 16th 2020 marked the arrival of our new CNC machine located in our Sydney factory.

Funded by a Federal Government Grant, the new CNC machine will enable more efficient production of our aluminium Smart Poles, Architectural poles, and bespoke specials.

Our thanks go to the Federal member for Berowra, Julian Lesser MP, who recently toured our facilities and said "the support came at an incredibly important time for the local manufacturing sector and will not only strengthen our business but will be an investment in a growing company that provides jobs for Australians, particularly as we face this unprecedented pandemic”.
