Galen is the first Russian composites company to cooperate with world renowned global composites market players.Galen is a Russian manufacturer of state-of-the-art composite materials for the construction, mining and road industries. The company is a pioneer in the use of basalt fiber composites (BFRP) and the market leader in BFRP construction materials with over a 50% market share in composite wall ties inRussia and CIS countries. Galen also supplies to Western Europe.
The  technical excellence combined with the manufacturing power of the new joint venture guarantee to costumers the highest quality products and the best service all around the world. 
Top Glass and Galen have been partners since 2011 when the Russian company started to manufacture composite street light poles using Top Glass technology. The high quality poles have been produced by Top Glass for many years and are used widely in Europe. 
In 2012 the Russian and Italian companies became formally partnered in a joint enterprise called High Tech Profile. The new company,  recently opened in the Republic of  Belarus, will produce standard composite profiles and centrifugal casting poles of world class quality, cost effectively for consumers in Eastern Europe.  
The products manufactured by High Tech Profile have huge potential in civil and industrial construction, power supply, the transport sector and telecommunications. Composite profiles are used in many different everyday structures. The properties of composite materials allow the creation of many innovative products for various industries.

“Our experience and manufacturing potential together with scientific and technical expertise give us the possibility to make products of high European quality,” – said General Director of  Galen,  Valery Nikolaev. “For more than 10 years we have specialized in manufacturing by pultrusion. This method is used for the production of profiles. In this area, Top Glass will be our technology partner. Certainly both companies are interested in widening our product range and sales areas. The profile market is a young but growing in Eastern Europe; and we will offer and make available quality products made in Russia.”

In March, 2012, during the JEC Composites Show in Paris, the leading International exhibition for composite industry, Galen and High Tech Profiles were announced as partners of Kemrock and Top Glass.
