Our world-class FRP rebars not only meet but surpass global standards,
solidifying our position as a leader in sustainable construction solutions.”
Benefits
of JAM's FRP rebars:
Sustainable Choice: FRP
rebars are a cost-effective, long lasting (don’t succumb to rust), environmentally
friendly choice and are a key component of sustainable and resilient
construction projects like the Burj Khalifa, Kanagawa Expressway (Japan) and
various Marina Piers and metro systems.
Lightweight
Strength: At over three times lighter than steel, FRP rebars
simplify construction processes and reduce dead weight in buildings.
Cost-Effective:
Offering significant cost savings of up to 35% compared to steel rebars.
Superior
Performance: FRP rebars deliver exceptional strength and
are non-conductive, making them ideal for diverse applications.
Heat
Resistant: FRP rebars maintain structural integrity in
high-temperature environments, ensuring safety and insulation.
Customizable
Solutions: JAM offers bent rebars to minimize material waste and
cater to specific construction needs.
Globally
Recognised Quality: JAM's FRP rebars are exported worldwide and
meet rigorous quality standards, receiving endorsements from authorized
engineers and multiple third-party approvals.
JAM
Circle: Fostering Innovation and Collaboration
Last week, JAM held its
inaugural invitation-only networking event, the JAM Circle. This exclusive
event, set to establish itself as an intellectual property in the years to
come, provided industry stakeholders access to JAM’s latest innovations and
insights on the fiber industry. Over 100 architects, engineers, contractors,
and industry experts participated in workshops, seminars, and networking opportunities. The event showcased JAM’s state-of-the-art
FRP products, featuring cutting-edge technology and superior performance.
Revolutionising
the Industry: Strategic Partnerships and Growth
Earlier in 2024, JAM signed
a landmark MoU with MAE S.p.A., an Italian specialty chemical fiber
manufacturer, to establish India's first carbon fiber facility. This INR 2,700 crore project is poised to
revolutionize the Indian composite industry.
Additionally, JAM partnered with the Tamil Nadu government to build a new
manufacturing plant in South India, representing a strategic investment of
nearly INR 1,000 crores.
