The company has demonstrated its manufacturing process at industrial scale with a domestic steel mill partner, producing tons of stainless clad rebar that met AASHTO M 329M commercial-sale requirements. Allium plans to bring a new Boston-area manufacturing facility online in July 2024 capable of producing tons of stainless-clad steel each day and aims to produce more than a thousand tons of stainless clad rebar within the next two years. Planned commercial installations this year include a bridge in Walton County, Florida and a sea wall in Key West, with additional projects planned in Florida, California, Virginia, and Indiana. The company says its stainless clad rebar can more than triple bridge component lifetimes from around 30 years to greater than 100 years and avoid up to twenty-times its weight in carbon emissions through avoided concrete and steel consumption. Allium is hiring for technical, business development, and engineering operations roles to support manufacturing and commercialization.
