About Falco
Home About Falco History
Falco was established on 15 September 1951. The founder, F. Friesacher, the grandfather of the present owner, began by manufacturing "transport equipment", such as wheelbarrows for stone and concrete and gravel and tar carts. In the middle of the 50's bicycle racks and sheds were added and the business then followed an ongoing strategy of development which has resulted in the core of Falco's present activities: a complete range of outdoor furniture for buildings, streets, parks, and urban environments. From the early developments the business grew substantially. The first enquiries and orders were also received from overseas, resulting in the establishment of sales offices in Europe, with the first being Falco GmbH in Germany and subsequently the appointment of representatives throughout the rest of Europe. The 35,600 m2 manufacturing and business complex located at the head office is being continually developed and now contains the most advanced production and storage facilities. The production range now extends to around 20,000 products.
Falco manufactures high quality cycle parking systems and street furniture. Falco shelters, canopies and stores can be used for every application; cycle shelters, smoking shelters, canopies, bike hangars, bin stores and cargo bike parking. Being design led, the Falco systems exert both style and form coupled with high functionality, enabling them to blend with all urban landscapes including towns, schools and parks. The modular nature of Falco street furniture, cycle parking and shelters and canopy systems enables them to fit into all schemes and environments. All Falco products are both robust and vandal resistant with integral drainage systems. Other products in the Falco range include secure stores and cycle hubs, with a range of wall finishes from Aluzinc, safety glass, hardwood, mesh or pierced steel - call for our latest brochure which has a whole range of shelter and canopy solutions.
We also have our own CAD facilities to make specifying easier. With this product portfolio, Falco is considered to be the market leader for external street furniture in the world, occupying a leading position in most European countries.
