Product Details
Cutting and bending, supplied by the leading Italian MEP group in this field, enables us to deliver cut and folded bars between 6 and 40 mm in diameter, "at the appropriate time" to the construction site, according to detailed contractor plans.
SSC offers cut and bent bars through a JIT (just in time) delivery system at the contractor`s construction site, according to their blueprints and in compliance with schedules and individualized bundle.
The cut & bend division produces shapes and stirrups in the required lengths and bent shapes for use in reinforced concrete structures. The production process is automated through the use of specialized machinery to enable high volume production with minimum labor requirements.
