The idea of manufacturing composite mesh has received exceptional support. Its rapid adoption is driven by its special technical characteristics and properties.
These include:
These properties give composite mesh a major advantage over the metal mesh previously used. Although it entered the construction market relatively recently, it is now included in many projects, from building homes to equipping bridges.
The raw material is glass fiber or basalt fiber supplied as yarn on bobbins. After the bobbins are installed, the machine is threaded. The material is then impregnated and the yarns are formed into small bars. The bars move through a section where they are woven together. The mesh then undergoes thermochemical treatment for fixation. The final stage – winding into rolls of the specified length.
We manufacture machines in 4 configurations differing in line width and maximum bar diameter:
A 1-meter line can produce mesh of any width from 0.5 to 1 m; a 2-meter line can produce mesh from 0.5 to 2 m wide.
By changing the line settings, the mesh opening size can be varied from 50 to 200 mm in any combination.
Additional equipment-design differences depend on the method used to weave the mesh bars:
The second mesh-weaving option provides additional strength; this modification costs RUB 300,000 more.

The production of high-quality mesh that meets all GOST requirements depends on the use of proven and certified technology developed by professionals. Our company has its own laboratory specializing in composite-materials research.
The research laboratory at our company is headed by Pavel Vyacheslavovich Nikolaev.
- Doctor of Chemical Sciences and professor at the Department of Chemistry and Technology of High-Molecular Compounds at Ivanovo State University of Chemistry and Technology (ISUCT).
Here is how Pavel Vyacheslavovich describes it:
Since 1973, my research interests have included epoxy oligomers and composite materials based on them. Since 2012, I have headed the laboratory of the research and manufacturing company Ivanovo Mechanical Plant. Building-materials production is a major responsibility: people health and even lives are at stake, so technology must be handled with the utmost care.
Running the laboratory required applying the knowledge and experience I accumulated over more than 40 years of scientific work. Rebar quality, high productivity, and environmentally responsible production are the laboratory technology development priorities.

I had long dreamed of starting my own fiberglass production business in Iraq. The IMZ team explained every aspect of the production process and showed me videos of the plant and its products. I was impressed. We ordered the equipment and started production a month and a half later. It is profitable. I highly recommend it.
I am very pleased with our cooperation with NPO Zvezda. We have no complaints about delivery or assembly: everything was completed on time and to a high standard. All documents, certificates, technical specifications, the business plan, and test results were provided immediately.
I spent a long time deciding which supplier to work with and chose NPO Zvezda. They had never let us down before. The machine was delivered and installed on time, everything was explained and tested. I am happy with my purchase; now it is up to me.
We have been working with construction materials for more than 12 years. We decided to start manufacturing composite rebar. IMZ was selected as the equipment supplier "IMZ". We first ordered a rebar production line and then expanded with mesh and profile lines. IMZ has proven to be a reliable and responsible partner that guarantees product quality.
I had always wanted to start my own business, but every option required a lot of money. Then I saw an advertisement for a composite rebar production line. No special expertise was required; the technology and suppliers are provided. I chose the SPA-2 line, and it has fully met my expectations. I am considering further expansion.
We would like to thank IMZ for implementing our production modernization project. The aim was to increase output and bring quality in line with GOST standards. This success was achieved thanks to the company highly qualified specialists and prompt resolution of the assigned tasks.
Composite materials have long been recognized in developed countries and are used successfully by builders.
The construction market is vast. High-quality GFRP rebar is in high demand and can successfully replace A-3 class steel rebar in most applications.
GFRP and BFRP composite materials are indispensable for constructing and repairing all types of foundations, walls of buildings of any height, roads, piles, and bridges. They are stronger, lighter, more cost-effective, and more durable than steel. The use of GFRP rebar and profiles is especially justified and necessary for structures operated in areas of high humidity and chemically aggressive environments.
We supply mesh production machines to St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Moscow and Moscow Region, Ivanovo, Yekaterinburg and all other cities in Russia and the CIS. Simply call us at 8 (800) 550-39-50.
