Recognition highlights Greenbar2X’s role in advancing sustainable, high-performance reinforcement solutions.
CONCORD, NC — Greenbar2X™, a contractor-ready fiberglass rebar solution from Mateenbar, has been named the winner of the 2025 ACMA Awards for Composites Excellence – Infinite Possibility for Market Growth Award, presented by the American Composites Manufacturers Association.
The ACMA Awards for Composites Excellence (ACE) are among the most prestigious honors in the composites industry, celebrating innovations that not only advance material science but also create measurable impact in real-world applications. Each year, the program recognizes companies that set new benchmarks in performance, sustainability, and market growth—making an ACE Award a strong signal of industry leadership and trust.
The award recognizes Greenbar2X’s™ impact in helping GFRP rebar scale across construction segments long dominated by steel.

With a smooth lacquered finish for easier handling, full BABA compliance, and manufacturing rooted in Concord, North Carolina, Greenbar2X™ delivers both performance and accessibility for the field.
“This award highlights both the growing demand for corrosion-free materials and the real-world momentum behind fiberglass rebar,” said Stan Jacot, CEO of Mateenbar®. Stan continues with, “Greenbar2X™ makes composite rebar accessible, practical, and scalable—giving contractors, engineers, and homeowners a meaningful material choice at the point of purchase.
