Reibus, the online metals marketplace, now offers long products as well as flat rolled, sheet and plate products.
Reibus (www.reibus.com) is an independent SaaS-enabled marketplace that utilizes technology to match buyers and sellers and to solve ingrained supply chain problems in the industrial material market.
“With momentum building and partnerships forming throughout the metals industry, we felt the urge to continue to grow our product portfolio,” said John Armstrong, CEO and founder of Reibus. “The partnership and trust from our customers helped us bring the entire long products category onto the Reibus platform and expand our ability to deliver value to the market.”
Founded in 2018, Reibus claims it has helped hundreds of customers by reducing lead-time, improving inventory, and streamlining finance and freight services.
