About us

EXCON a.s. began operating in 1990 as a design studio focusing on structural analysis and the dynamics of steel structures. We designed and installed more than 1400 lattice towers, monopoles, look-out towers and several guyed masts. We have a proved and efficient system for strengthening of existing towers.

The high technical level across our product range requires top support in the IT field. For this reason, we have our own software development department. The software developed helps us achieve the high quality of all the company products, and can also be applied as a product in itself, which we offer to our clients.
