About Our Product: Composite Rebars - GFRP Rebars
Our GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) rebars are made using a proprietary technology that combines glass fiber with advanced chemical compounds. These rebars are revolutionary substitute for traditional steel reinforcement bars, offering numerous advantages. Our GFRP Rebars of various diameters are manufactured with foreign technology but completely made in India complying to International standards and Bureau of Indian Standards.
