PRESS RELEASE
Polesaver Expands into U.S. Market with Focus on Southeast Growth
Partnership with TBG Associates Brings Polesaver Solutions to Key U.S. States
Polesaver, a leading UK-based provider of utility support solutions, is accelerating its growth in the U.S. market through a new partnership with Louisiana-based TBG Associates. This strategic collaboration will position TBG Associates to represent Polesaver’s innovative product line across the Southeastern states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and parts of Florida.
Polesaver is renowned for its advanced protective solutions for wooden utility poles, which are critical, long lifecycle assets for power infrastructure. The company’s flagship product, Rot-Guard, features a dual-layer, air- and watertight barrier designed to shield the ground-line section of poles—where rot and decay are most likely to occur. This solution, independently tested to ensure durability, is proven to extend pole lifespan by decades, helping utilities significantly reduce maintenance and replacement costs while enhancing safety.
In addition to Rot-Guard, TBG Associates will also promote Blaze-Guard, a high-performance fire-resistant fabric that can withstand multiple fires, and Termi-Guard, a marine-grade stainless steel barrier that provides robust termite protection.
“We’re thrilled to partner with TBG Associates to represent Polesaver in these key Southeastern states,” said Richard George, Polesaver’s CEO, “The U.S. market presents tremendous potential for us and for utility companies seeking resilient, cost-effective solutions. With TBG’s expertise and industry relationships, we’re confident in building strong partnerships over the coming years.”
TBG Associates echoed this enthusiasm, noting the value Polesaver’s offerings add to their portfolio. “Polesaver’s range of products aligns seamlessly with our current offerings and addresses a crucial need we’ve heard repeatedly from utilities in the region. We look forward to a productive and mutually beneficial partnership for years to come,” Barclay Miller, Manufacturing Representative for TBG Associates, said.
The Southeast’s transmission and distribution market is valued at approximately $15-20 billion annually. Population growth, increased demand for resilience, and the need for infrastructure modernisation are driving substantial investment in maintenance and expansion across the region.
This year alone, severe weather events have disrupted services for residents and businesses, inflicting millions of dollars in damage on utilities. With aging infrastructure facing mounting pressures from natural disasters, utilities are prioritising upgrades and protection measures to ensure grid reliability.
