MCA's Naperville location has been fabricating rebar for customers for years. But starting in 2002 we're able to do it even faster and more precisely than we could in the past. The reason? Our new Schnell Bar Wiser® machine!

It can take straight #3, #4, # 5 and # 6 stock, cut it within 3/64'' tolerance, bend it within one-degree tolerance, and drop it within seconds.

The Bar Wiser can be used to manufacture stirrups and hoops as well as long bars bent at both ends. This capability is important for MCA's commercial construction customers.

The machine basically doubles MCA's capacity for this operation, and therefore is beneficial to all our customers. We can now get any size job out in almost half the time. And new, enhanced computer-driven programs reduce the time for doing take-off work and translating it to the manufacturing process.

"This machine is going to make the lives of our customers so much easier -simply because we can get them the same product as before so much faster and more precise to their measurements," says Dan DeNotto, MCA Rebar Division Manager. "We can now meet more of our customers' needs because we can offer more bends and turns than before. We can also offer one-stop shopping convenience for all their rebar needs."

We invite you to come down to the MCA Naperville location (off of Rte 59 and North Aurora Road) to see the new machine in action. Dan or Jan will be glad to show off their new addition to the team. Or call your MCA Sales Rep for more information - or a quote!
