GatorBar has announced the expansion of GatorBar Grip production to include #5 sized composite rebar. The #5 GatorBar Grip, GatorBar’s new sliver-free product, is available for order with delivery through its network of distribution and wholesale partners.
“This natural progression of our product line has been eagerly awaited by many of our customers. More and more within the industry are becoming increasingly comfortable in the cost and performance advantages that composite rebar offers over regular steel rebar. This, in addition to a larger bar size, allows GatorBar to pursue further concrete reinforcement applications and extend its paradigm shifting cost and performance advantages. We are very excited at the opportunity this now provides the market," said Ken Keranen, GatorBar co-founder and director of sales.
