Non-Corrosive and 7 Times lighter than steel, GatorBar Basalt FRP Rebar is perfect for Hawaii

Neuvokas, which was founded in 2012, makes fiber reinforced polymer rebar to replace the rods of steel rebar used to reinforce concrete in buildings, roads and bridges.

Neuvokas Corporation welcomes Honolulu Wood Treating as its exclusive stocking distributor serving the state of Hawaii. “As a wholesale distributor Honolulu Wood Treating will provide stocking service to the entire state at all levels in the distribution chain,” said Neuvokas Chief Executive Officer, Erik Kiilunen. “With their truckload commitment, Honolulu Wood Treating will make GatorBar available to everyone in Hawaii.  With the corrosion and transportation challenges Hawaii faces we are confident they will be successful.”

Four hundred and fifty thousand feet of GatorBar is set to arrive on the islands in mid-January, and Paul Kane, Aloha Marketing, is committed to ensuring GatorBar makes a big splash in Hawaii. “I am very excited about bringing GatorBar to Hawaii in 2017,” said Kane. “I believe the freight, labor and handling savings will win over HWT dealers and Hawaiian contractors.”

There must be some interesting logistics at play to deliver this to Hawaii. How do you transport it?

What is keeping this product from going nationwide tomorrow? Production limitations? Appears to be a no-brainer. Great work.

I have a sample. Surprisingly light, and super strong.

How does Gatorbar match up to the steel rebar in specifications? Interested in if it meets the California code for rebar, and how it matches up in cost VS traditional steel.
