Commercial Metals Co. has added AZZ’s Continuous Galvanized Rebar division to its portfolio of businesses. GalvaBar, located in Tulsa, Okla., produces galvanized rebar with a zinc alloy coating that provides superior corrosion protection and post-fabrication formability. The product is used in steel reinforced concrete.
“We are thrilled to welcome the GalvaBar team to CMC,” said CMC Executive Vice President and COO Tracy Porter. “The addition of GalvaBar’s value-added products to our offering will enable us to better serve and support our customers’ needs. We also believe that CMC’s broad geographic footprint and distribution network will greatly enhance the reach of the GalvaBar product line.”
