Certified Rebar Supplier for UAE & GCC
Metal Junction FZE supplies deformed reinforcing steel bars (rebar) from our Umm Al Quwain Free Trade Zone base to construction, civil engineering, and infrastructure projects across the UAE and wider Middle East. We stock and source Grade B500B (standard ductility) and B500C (high ductility / seismic) deformed reinforcing bars in diameters 6–50 mm to EN 10080, all supplied with full EN 10204 Type 3.1 Mill Test Certificates.
Whether you need a single diameter in standard 12 m lengths for a UAE concrete frame structure, or a full project package of mixed diameters with certified test reports for a seismic-zone building — we source, certify, and deliver to your schedule across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman.

- Full MTC documentation — chemical analysis, mechanical tests, bend test, rebend test
Rebar — At a Glance
B500B vs B500C — Which Grade Do You Need?
Both grades share the same 500 MPa characteristic yield strength — the key difference is ductility class, which determines suitability for seismic design. We supply both grades from certified UAE and European mills.
