Pultrall's Ohio GFRP Rebar Plant in the US Commences Operations

en.Wedoany.com Reported - American GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) rebar manufacturer Pultrall recently inaugurated a new 127,000-square-foot production facility in Edon, Ohio, primarily producing V-ROD GFRP rebar. The commencement of operations at this GFRP rebar facility will enable compliance with the "Build America, Buy America" requirements, doubling the company's V-ROD GFRP rebar production capacity and creating over 60 new jobs.

V-ROD GFRP rebar has been officially eligible under the "Build America, Buy America" provisions since October 2025. This initiative, implemented in 2021, mandates that iron, steel, construction materials, and manufactured products used in federally funded infrastructure projects must be produced in the United States or contain at least 55% domestic components.

Bernard Drouin, President and CEO of Pultrall, stated that the share of the company's revenue derived from GFRP rebar for projects subject to "Build America, Buy America" regulations is steadily increasing. The Edon GFRP rebar facility will ensure a supply of compliant products to support this growth and market share.

Concurrently, the company is expanding its production facility in Thetford Mines, Canada, adding a 10,000-square-foot V-ROD GFRP rebar production unit scheduled to be operational in Spring 2026.

According to publicly available information, Pultrall initiated this round of GFRP rebar capacity expansion following its acquisition of an Illinois-based glass fiber innovation company in 2023. Pultrall currently positions itself as a leading manufacturer of GFRP rebar in North America.
