Company news and industry updates.
Trade-show news from a company that has exhibited every season at the Canton Fair and at hardware shows in the USA, Germany and Brazil since 2010 — plus sourced updates on the steel market and the ASTM standards that govern reinforcement and mesh.
Where we've shown our products.
IndustryBarbed wire standards: ASTM A121 and the Class 1 vs Class 3 coating that decides field life
ASTM A121 is the US standard for metallic-coated carbon-steel barbed wire. The single number that decides how long the fence lasts is the zinc coating class: Class 1 (0.28 oz/ft²) rusts in 2–12 years; Class 3 (0.80 oz/ft²) lasts 13–30.

IndustryStucco lath standards: ASTM C1032, C847 and C933 — and how C1063 installs them
The IBC recognizes three plaster-base materials: woven wire (stucco netting) under ASTM C1032, expanded metal lath under C847, and welded wire lath under C933. Which one you specify — and how it is furred and lapped under C1063 — decides whether the stucco keys properly.

IndustryHot-dip galvanizing: ASTM A123 vs A153 and why coating thickness matters
ASTM A123 covers hot-dip zinc coatings on steel products including wire and rebar; ASTM A153 covers hardware and fasteners. The coating thicknesses are minimums — and corrosion life scales directly with them.

IndustryWelded wire reinforcement is specified under ASTM A1064 — a buyer's checklist
ASTM A1064 is the current US standard for steel wire and welded wire reinforcement, consolidating the older A82, A185, A496 and A497 specs. Here is what importers should confirm when buying welded mesh to spec.

IndustryA706 vs A615 rebar: when to specify weldable, seismic-grade steel
ASTM A615 and A706 are the two main US reinforcing-bar specifications. A706 tightens the chemistry for weldability and seismic ductility; A615 covers general reinforcement. Here is how buyers choose — and what it means for the accessories around the bar.

Under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.701(b), protruding rebar that workers could fall onto must be guarded against impalement. Caps must dissipate impact — and above grade, fall protection comes first.

IndustryChain link fence standards: ASTM A392, F1083 and the CLFMI manual
The CLFMI Product Manual and its ASTM references — A392 galvanized fabric, F1083 galvanized framework, F1345 Zn-alloy, F668 polymer — define what a compliant chain link fence actually is.

IndustryGlobal steel demand set to edge up in 2026 — what it means for construction buyers
The World Steel Association's April 2026 Short Range Outlook forecasts global steel demand rising 0.3% in 2026 and 2.2% in 2027, led by infrastructure-driven construction — a steadier backdrop for reinforcement and wire buyers planning orders.
