About AGF :

At AGF, we’re a trailblazing force in reinforcing steel and post-tensioning, with more than 75 years of excellence and over 50,000 successful projects achieved.

Now, you might be wondering, “What’s the deal with reinforcing steel (also known as rebar)?”. In a nutshell, rebar is like the backbones of a building. It’s a key ingredient that gives strength to concrete so that it doesn’t crack, ensuring buildings and infrastructure remain strong and stable for years to come.
