The company informed engineers, architects, builders, hardware stores, warehouses and their clients that counterfeit re-bars of doubtful quality carrying the Metaldom name tags have been identified on the local market. The company, in a paid advertisement, reported that the company 's sales force will be visiting every establishment where the their brand of re-bar is sold, and will provide instructions on how to identify the authenticity of the Metaldom re-bar, a brand that is made 100% in the country.
