Triopt Group ensures safety on masts, towers and buildings.
Lightning strikes are not just spectacular natural phenomena – they pose a serious threat to people, technology and infrastructure. Last year alone, the lightning information service registered over 209,000 lightning strikes in Germany. According to a recent analysis by the GDV, insurers had to pay a record sum of 270 million euros for lightning and surge damage in 2024 – the highest figure for over 20 years.
World Lightning Protection Day on June 28 is a reminder of the importance of preventative protective measures – and of tragic events such as the lightning strike in a Ugandan school in 2011, which claimed the lives of 18 children. Since then, the motto for this day has been: “Lightning protection PROTECTS lives.”
