The amount of reinforcing bar(or “rebar”)currently produced globally is estimated at over 400 million tons per year.With global infra-structure demands increasing,this production level is forecasted for continued expansion.Product requirements along with production levels are ever increasing,but as an industry there is minimal to no effort being put forth to produce a better product.Rather,rebar is being commoditized to a point where price is the only real consideration taken into account when purchasing rebar for major projects.This “pricing only” mentality results in a product that barely meets minimum standards.
