The POHL Facade Division is an owner managed international specialist for metal facades. They combine premium metals such as aluminum, stainless steel, zinc and brass with individual surfaces for one-of-a-kind building envelopes – individually or with a modular system.
There are no limits to creativity in the development of architectural ideas. Their strength lies in translating these visions into real facade solutions. With the required know-how and an extensive machine park, POHL is able to solve any problem with productive manufacturing proposals.
