B.W.C. manufactures and sells RockRebar®, a near carbon-neutral, self-sustainable, non-corrosive concrete reinforcement product made from Basalt. We recognize Basalt as the solution to the worlds failing infrastructure problem, help us build smarter! We also manufacture and sell the machines capable of producing RockRebar® along with the licensing agreements necessary to produce our trademarked, tested product! U-Miami testing has proved that RockRebar® is 2.5x stronger than steel while being 1/4th the weight. RockRebar® was used to reinforce 95% of the award-winning innovation bridge build on U-Miami's campus. Basalt World Corp was founded by President Elina Jenkins in 2018, but the companies story really began in 1988 with Don Smith's discovery of continuous Basalt fiber and the many advantages it had to offer over steel and the man-made recipe for fiberglass. This eventually leads to the thought that BFRP (Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymers) could and should be used to reinforce concrete. To test this theory Don would need a way to efficiently produce BFRP composite rebar. Don's discovery of a new way to pultrude glass-state basalt fiber without the use of any heated dies was groundbreaking and put Don on the path to creating the first-ever pultrusion machine specifically designed to run BFRP. Over the next 20 years, Don continued to further his career in the boat building and marine construction industries, but didn't allow those businesses to get in the way of him developing the first prototype pultrusion machine designed to run Basalt fiber. With the first machine complete and pumping out BFRP composite rebar, Don now needed a way to optimize its efficiency and a way to successfully replicate it. This leads to him teaming up with close friend Elina Jenkins, a computer-aided design professional who moved to the United States from Latvia in 1994. Since 2008 the team of two has been working together to morph the original prototype machine into what we now call the Lean Green FRP Rebar Machine ®. Our mission is to become the driving force in growing the FRP industry, pushing to align our innovative technology with the public good while we make Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymers the standard reinforcement for concrete. This would ultimately help us to save taxpayers billions of dollars a year while also lowering the carbon footprint left behind to build and reinforce our concrete infrastructure. Our technology will help to maintain an exceptionally high-quality control standard throughout the entire FRP industry. Basalt is the stepping stone to a greener, sustainable future; and the sales of our Lean Green FRP Rebar Machine ® will help the industry keep up with the amount of composite rebar that will need to be produced!
