Forging a New Definition of Rebar Capacity

KRB and MEP have formed a strategic partnership. We recognized that the industry needed a unified, end-to-end automated solution that takes up less footprint and can be added in stages as your automation needs grow.

KRB: The Domestic Leader in Bar Machines

As the leading US-based supplier, KRB provides heavy duty reliable Shearlines and Auto Bar benders. Our strong bar lineup and established domestic presence ensure reliable support and proven throughput.

MEP: Italian Precision in Coil Products

Complementing our bar strength is MEP, which brings decades of expertise in coil product solutions. Featuring the industry-leading AFS system, MEP is renowned for providing the best straightening in the market. MEP is also a leader in automated hands free systems allowing our high-density cells to be flawlessly integrated into your operations and scaled incrementally.

What This Means for Fabricators

Together, our partnership delivers immediate, measurable ROI by addressing the three core constraints facing your business:

  1. Maximize Density: We compress the entire fabrication line into a fraction of the space required by linear layouts, turning costly staging areas into productive zones with shorter crane travel
  2. Predictable Scalability: Our joint HDF solution is modular, allowing you to add capacity in increments, matching your capital expenditure precisely to proven business growth, not speculative real estate projects.
  3. Guaranteed Flow: We ensure material flows efficiently from one automated process to the next without the need for manual handling or crane lifts, maximizing throughput per shift in a compact space.
