Mateenbar at The Precast Show 2025: Advancing Fiberglass Rebar for Precast Concrete

Electricity

Mateenbar was proud to participate in The Precast Show 2025 in Indianapolis last week, the largest event dedicated to the precast concrete industry in North America.

The show brought together manufacturers, suppliers, and industry leaders focused on innovation, durability, and sustainability in precast construction.

As a global leader in fiberglass rebar (GFRP), Mateenbar showcased how corrosion-free reinforcement is transforming precast concrete applications. With increasing demand for sustainable, American-made materials, our presence at the show underscored Mateenbar’s commitment to high-performance, long-lasting solutions for the industry.

We were pleased with the overwhelming response to our products, including our flatworks fiberglass rebar (Greenbar2X) and structural fiberglass rebar (Mateenbar60).

It is clear that fiberglass rebar is gaining traction in the Precast industry.  Attendees at our booth were particularly interested in how GFRP rebar improves the performance and lifespan of bridge decks, culverts, retaining walls, and other precast structures. With advantages such as:

  • Corrosion-Free Durability – Eliminating rust-related deterioration for extended service life.
  • Lightweight & Easy to Handle – Significantly lighter than steel, improving efficiency and reducing labor costs.
  • Expanding Industry Adoption – As building codes evolve, GFRP reinforcement is becoming the go-to choice for precast applications.

Danielle Kleinhans, Ph.D., P.E., F.ACI, Mateenbar’s Director of Engineering and Business Development, noted the strong interest in our U.S.-manufactured GFRP rebar, stating:

“Producer attendees at TPS2025 were very keen to the fact that Mateenbar is manufactured in America, meeting the rules for Buy America and BABA (Build America, Buy America). Mateenbar stands ready to support innovative projects and is proud to call North Carolina home.”

Fiberglass rebar is shaping the future of precast concrete.  The enthusiasm at The Precast Show confirmed that the industry is moving toward stronger, longer-lasting, and corrosion-resistant reinforcement solutions.

Mateenbar’s fiberglass rebar is at the forefront of this shift, offering a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to traditional steel.
