Finland-based stainless steel producer Outokumpu has announced that it has expanded its stainless steel rebar capabilities at its facilities in Richburg, South Carolina, US, and therefore is now able to offer fully domestically produced stainless rebar for customers in the US and in Canada.
According to Outokumpu, usage of stainless steel rebar is growing rapidly across North America as it delivers significant lifetime savings to infrastructure owners. Stainless rebar has been used successfully in highly demanding structures, including bridges and other road infrastructure, which show no signs of deterioration after decades of service.
