[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]At CAMX 2025, Mateenbar\u2019s\u00ae Greenbar2X\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0received the\u00a0ACMA Award for Composites Excellence<\/a> (ACE)<\/strong>\u00a0in the category of\u00a0Infinite Possibility for Market Growth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re honored by the recognition, but more importantly, we\u2019re energized by what it signals: a clear step forward in how our industry thinks about\u00a0who<\/strong>\u00a0composite rebar is for,\u00a0where<\/strong>\u00a0it belongs, and\u00a0why<\/strong>\u00a0it matters.<\/p>\n

Why This Win Matters (Now)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For years, GFRP rebar lived in the margins – often limited to specialty infrastructure. Meanwhile, corrosion has continued to erode value<\/a> across American construction.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0WHY<\/strong> behind Greenbar2X\u00ae is simple: make the\u00a0corrosion-free choice<\/strong>\u00a0visible, viable, and available to the people doing the work:\u00a0contractors, builders, DIYers, and residential\/light-commercial specifiers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Greenbar2X\u00ae is doing exactly that. It\u2019s stocked nationwide at Lowe\u2019s<\/a><\/strong>, available in\u00a0select Home Depot<\/a> regions<\/strong>, and supported by a growing network of\u00a0wholesale distributors<\/strong>. That shelf presence creates a\u00a0real material choice<\/strong>\u00a0right next to steel: no special orders, no delays, no mystery.<\/p>\n

Add in\u00a0BABA-compliant, U.S. manufacturing in Concord, North Carolina<\/strong>, and a\u00a0lacquered finish<\/strong>\u00a0that\u2019s clean and comfortable to handle, and you get a product designed for\u00a0everyday jobsite realities<\/strong>\u00a0as much as engineering performance.<\/p>\n

This is what the\u00a0Infinite Possibility<\/strong>\u00a0award is recognizing: not just innovation in materials, but\u00a0innovation in access<\/strong>, removing historic barriers so composite reinforcement can serve the markets where most people build.[\/vc_column_text]

What We Heard (and Learned) at CAMX<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We came to CAMX to listen as much as to share. Our very own\u00a0Danielle Kleinhans, Ph.D., P.E.<\/strong>\u00a0participated on a speaking panel organized by the\u00a0Florida DOT<\/strong>\u00a0(Advancing Infrastructure: Real-World Successes & Opportunities with FRP in Florida) and other key Team members attended the Conference.<\/p>\n

We had meaningful conversations across agencies, academia, contractors, and peers. A few themes stood out:<\/p>\n
