Coiled Wire Rod
(BS 4449 Gr 500B & ASTM A615)
Direct mill allocation of prime high-yield deformed concrete reinforcement rebar and hot-rolled draw-quality wire rod in coils. Engineered for seismic civil infrastructure, industrial pre-cast fabrication, and high-speed cold wire drawing. Delivered on chartered breakbulk vessels (CIF/CFR) with 100% independent SGS inspection.
Reliable Steel Rebar & Wire Rod Supply for
Civil Infrastructure & Industrial Manufacturing.
In reinforced concrete engineering, reliable steel quality means uniform tensile strength, predictable bending performance, and concrete bonding that withstands severe environmental and seismic stress. Tight carbon equivalent controls and controlled thermo-mechanical quenching (TMT) dictate the structural safety of mega-foundations, bridges, and high-rise shear walls.
Asia & Africa General Trading delivers continuous prime allocations of high-yield deformed reinforcement steel bars (rebar) and low-to-medium carbon wire rod in coils sourced directly from vetted integrated blast furnace (BOF) and electric arc furnace (EAF) mills. Whether you require standard BS 4449 Grade B500B reinforcement or drawing-quality SAE 1006 / 1008 wire rod coils, we manage chemical ladle verification, SGS load-port testing, and chartered shipping straight to your discharge seaport.
Backed by 20+ years in international commodity trade, our operations team ensures strict compliance with commercial contracts, transparent vessel laycans, and verified metallurgical test reports for every metric ton.

Need Custom Steel Grades, Special Lengths or Non-Standard Diameters?
Our mill supply agreements are not limited to standard commercial grades. We arrange dedicated melt and rolling campaigns according to buyer project requirements, including ASTM A706 weldable seismic rebar, BS 4449 Grade B500C high-ductility bars, custom 6m / 14m / 15m lengths, epoxy-coated rebar, and medium/high-carbon wire rod coils.
Common Applications & Downstream Uses
Our prime deformed rebar and draw-quality wire rod coils serve as foundational inputs for mega-civil infrastructure, structural precast plants, and industrial wire manufacturing facilities across international trade corridors.
01
High-Rise Foundations & Heavy Columns
Heavy deformed reinforcement bars (16mm to 40mm) provide high tensile load-bearing capacity and ductile energy dissipation for heavily reinforced raft foundations, diaphragm walls, and core shear walls in commercial high-rise towers.
02
Highway Flyovers, Bridges & Deep Piling
Transportation infrastructure subjected to intense dynamic cyclic loading relies on our Grade B500C high-ductility rebar, engineered to resist fatigue, withstand reverse bend stresses, and sustain deep foundation cage integrity.
03
Precast Girders, Culverts & Tunnel Liners
Automated precast concrete factories utilize our rebar (8mm to 20mm) for its tight dimensional straightness and predictable bending radiuses, ensuring zero surface cracking across automated stirrup benders.
04
Welded BRC Mesh & Cold Drawn Wire
Prime low-carbon wire rod (SAE 1006 / 1008 in 5.5mm to 12.0mm coils) provides clean surface scale (<0.8%) and high cross-sectional reduction of area (≥60%) for high-speed multi-pass wire drawing lines and welded mesh sheets.
05
Seismic Diaphragm & Shear Walls
Civil engineers in earthquake-active zones specify our BS 4449 Grade B500B/C rebar for reinforced concrete shear walls, delivering certified energy dissipation and documented ductility under extreme seismic ground acceleration.
06
Fasteners, Industrial Nails & Binding Wire
High-ductility draw rod supports secondary processing into heavy industrial coil nails, galvanized binding tie wire, barbed wire, and fencing mesh across downstream wire processing mills.
Quality Guarantee & Buyer Protection
Every shipment of rebar and wire rod is independently verified by recognized international inspection agencies prior to vessel departure, providing complete commercial and metallurgical security for enterprise procurement teams.
Independent Load Port Inspection (SGS / Intertek)
SGS or Intertek inspectors conduct random bundle sampling, physical dimension verification, bar rib measurement, and chemical checks on the berth before loading. A formal certificate of weight and quality is issued alongside the draft survey.
Official Mill Test Certificates (MTC 3.1)
Full heat traceability on every bundle tag and coil label. The producer MTC documents complete ladle analysis, actual yield and tensile values, carbon equivalent (CEQ), and CARES / ISO accreditation stamps.
Certified Clean Vessel Holds & Rust Protection
Our maritime desk charters Handymax and Supramax bulk carriers with mandatory hold cleanliness certification and proper dry wood dunnage separation to prevent salt water or previous bulk cargo contamination during sea transit.
Secure Bank Letters of Credit (LC at Sight)
Payment execution conducted under standard UCP 600 rules via 100% Irrevocable Letters of Credit (LC) at sight or SBLC issued through tier-1 international banks in Dubai, London, and Singapore.
