Hydro Aluminium Poles
Clean & Green, Durable, Lightweight, Elegant and Cost-Effective Aluminium Poles.
Founded in 1905, Hydro is a fully vertically integrated aluminium company with 35,000 employees in 40 countries on all continents, combining local expertise, worldwide reach and unmatched capabilities in Research & Development.
Hydro operates across the entire aluminium supply chain. The company is known for its focus on efficient manufacturing processes relying on clean energy – something that sets Hydro apart from most other suppliers of lighting poles. Hydro’s aluminium poles are made of at minimum 95% recycled aluminium. As a result, the poles are cost-effective, and the manufacturing process requires only about 5% of the energy that would be needed if manufactured from primary aluminium. The energy that is used is 100% from renewable sources, and at the end of their lifetime, Hydro Aluminium poles are 100% recyclable.
MHL has been supplying Hydro in New Zealand since 2012, with over 700 poles installed to date.

One of the first installations of Hydro aluminium poles can be found at Devonport Wharf in Auckland. Even after over five years in this harsh coastal location, the poles still look almost as good as they did on day one and are a great example of the durability and elegance of aluminium poles.
