A small family business becomes a globally successful corporation
For more than 50 years, we have been taking care of the technically efficient equipment of buildings as experts for cable management and underfloor systems. With expertise, innovative strength, and the tangible values of a family business, we have taken the PUK brand out into the world. Discover the milestones of our company history and learn how in five decades a small Berlin company has become a globally successful group of companies.
It all starts with two cable clamp manufacturers from Berlin
The history of PUK goes back to the inventive spirit of Anton Klein and Hermann Pohl. After both men had successfully produced cable clamps with their own companies for many years, they joined forces in 1969 and merged in the shadow of the Berlin Wall to form "Pohl and Klein", or PUK for short. From the 90s on, foreign markets gain more and more importance. With PUK Portacables, the company founds its first subsidiary in Barcelona in 1992. Further subsidiaries and participations follow in Poland (1999), Turkey (2006), the Netherlands (2008), Russia (2009), Romania (2009) and Switzerland (2015). In 2009, PUK-Werke opens up a new market with assembly solutions for ground-mounted systems, roof structures and carports. In 2011, PUK-Werke then founded its wholly owned subsidiary PUK-Solar GmbH & Co. KG in Berlin. The expanded range of services now includes technical consulting, planning, production and logistics as well as the assembly of the subframes and the complete module assembly. In 2016, PUK-Werke is renamed the PUK Group. Three years later, PUK bundles its extensive product range and expertise with that of JORDAHL and H-BAU Technik in PohlCon Vertriebs GmbH. On January 1, 2021, all three manufacturers finally merge into a single company, PohlCon GmbH. The name PUK will henceforth remain as a product brand.
