Rebar Corp. expands fabrication capacity

Rebar Corp. of Indiana is expanding its fabrication capacity with $920’000 in equipment renovations. The Fort Wayne, Indiana-based rebar fabricator and supplier of concrete accessories will purchase manufacturing, logistical distribution and information technology equipment, including fully automated bending and shearing machines. The expansion will allow Rebar Corp. to add six new jobs. “We are pleased to have experienced tremendous growth in 2004 and 2005 as the economy and our customer base both expand,” said Rebar Corp. vice president Tracy May. May went on to say, “We are updating our equipment to increase production and improve quality control, both of which are central to Rebar Corp.’s strengths in service, accuracy and turnaround time.” The company will also increase control of its own product distribution by purchasing a semi-tractor and trailers to service large jobs, typically in the 24-ton to 1'000-ton range. Rebar Corp. primarily serves contractors in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio although it has customers based all over the US.
