|  VCON rebar, manufactured by means of our proprietary production system,
                  which has a high level of quality control, is a product with a high performance
                  history and superb quality, among its other excellent features. The product
                  meets many strict regulations and standards and is ideally suited to a
                  wide range of applications.

                  | OTANI marks each of our rebars with both its steel grade and size. This
                  makes it possible to visually check the steel grade and size, making them
                  much easier to work with and bringing greater accuracy to the construction
                  site. 
 <Steel grade and size markings>
 
 
  
 By setting more control items than JIS, instigating stringent controls
                  of chemical constituents and seeking the best shape for the ridges, we
                  have created products with a high degree of weldability and workability.
                  We also carry out a variety of tests and inspections in addition to inspection
                  items that are covered by JIS standards.
 
 * We started manufacturing STANDARD VCON marked with steel grade and size
                  on February 1 2010. You may find the old-style products mixed in with the
                  new “steel grade and size” marked ones arriving in your orders for a while.
                  They can both be used as STANDARD VCON. There is no difference in quality
                  between them. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this might
                  cause, and hope that you will understand and appreciate our position.

                        | The SUPER VCON is our original product that displays a 4-figure identification
                        number (*) after its steel grade and size, making it suitable for construction
                        work requiring strict material control and high reliability. This ensures
                        that each rebar used on the site is traceable, even after the product bundles
                        have been unbound or the rebars have been cut, thus making thorough quality
                        control possible. (patented) 
 * The identification number on SUPER VCON is a proprietary number used
                        by OTANI Steel corresponding to the molten steel lot number.
