Sophisticated structures are created through experience, cooperation and people.
For over five decades, PFEIFER Structures has stood for excellence in architectural lightweight construction.
What makes us different is not only our technical expertise, but above all the people who realize extraordinary structures worldwide with responsibility and experience.
We work in closely with building owners, architects, engineers and contractors – from the initial idea to successful implementation of complex projects.
Vision
We realize architectural lightweight construction holistically, sustainably, with precision and at the cutting edge of technology.
PFEIFER Structures stands for integrated solutions in the field of wide-span structures and building envelopes, combining design, materials and execution to create durable structures
Mission
Our mission is to implement complex construction tasks reliably in lightweight architectural construction. PFEIFER Structures plans, develops, supplies, assembles and maintains cable structures, membrane and ETFE constructions, and movable building envelopes.
We combine engineering expertise, knowledge of materials and international implementation experience to create tailor-made solutions throughout the entire project life cycle. The responsible use of materials and resources is an integral part of our understanding of lightweight construction.
1960s
The beginning of lightweight construction
Initial projects in the field of cable and tension structures lay the foundation for the following specialisation in material-efficient lightweight construction.
1970s
Pioneering projects
Projects such as the Olympic Stadium in Munich raise the international profile of lightweight architectural construction. Wide-span cable structures shape the technical orientation of the company.
1980-90s
Specialisation
The continuing development of cable structures and cable systems leads to the first building approvals being issued by the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt). At the same time, international project experience grows.
2000s
Major projects
Large stadium roofs for the 2006 (Germany) and 2010 (South Africa) World Cups mark a milestone in the implementation of complex roof structures.
2010s
International presence, integrated expertise
The SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA, USA is the most extensive project in the company’s history to date – steel, cable, membrane and retractable systems within an integrated project contract.
Today
Completing complex structures responsibly
PFEIFER Structures assumes responsibility for the supporting structure, building envelope and movable systems – from planning and implementation to operation.
