Reinforcement Fibers Made in the USA: Why Domestic Sourcing Matters More Than Ever 

The New Vulnerability in Reinforcement Supply Chains

The materials used to manufacture most synthetic reinforcement fibers are imported from outside of the U.S. Current market conditions highlight the vulnerability in relying on international supply chains.

By sourcing domestically, businesses can avoid these disruptions, without sacrificing quality and performance. The REGEN Fiber production facility in Iowa sits in America’s heartland, processing materials domestically into high-performance fiber reinforcement for concrete, asphalt and composite applications.

While we’re transparent that we use “domestic and global materials” in our manufacturing (because that’s our reality of modern production), all the actual processing for REGEN Fiber happens right here in the USA. We are a U.S.-based supplier that doesn’t rely on imports or international intermediaries to meet customer demand.

This means:

• No surprise tariffs
• No containers stuck in customs
• No unpredictable cost increases

Our domestic manufacturing process uses recycled wind turbine blades from across the country that become domestically produced fibers that meet performance expectations and sustainability goals.

What’s Happening in the Concrete & Asphalt Reinforcement Fiber Market

Here are some of the ripple effects of rising import costs and tariffs:

• Many producers are working to quickly diversify their fiber supply portfolio 
• Prices have increased for imported fibers and other imported construction supplies like cement  
• Producers find themselves wading through continued uncertainty, making long-term planning difficult. 
• There’s growing urgency to avoid tariffs on concrete fibers while maintaining quality and availability

These disruptions are affecting every part of the distribution chain — from manufacturers to contractors to end users.

As a result, producers are seeking U.S.-made alternatives that meet structural performance requirements while offering dependable access and pricing.

The REGEN Fiber Difference: Reinforcement Fibers Made in the USA using Domestic and Global Materials

This is where REGEN Fiber’s domestic fiber production becomes more than a patriotic talking point. It is a genuine competitive advantage for you.
We offer:

1. Supply chain security – No overseas shipping delays, customs holdups, or surprise tariffs
2. Price stability – U.S.-based operations enable predictable pricing
3. Logistics efficiency – Our Iowa location ensures fast delivery to most U.S. markets
4. Sustainability in practice – Products made from 100% recycled materials that support long-term environmental goals
5. American jobs – Supporting domestic production and economic resilience

Our fibers are designed to improve durability, impact resistance, and toughness — helping reduce surface cracks, shrinkage, and premature failures in concrete mixes.

Whether you’re working on high-load paving projects, precast applications, or composite panels, our fibers can support the needs of your application.

A Unique Opportunity for Concrete, Composite & Asphalt Producers

For our producer partners — the customers who incorporate our fibers into their concrete, composite, and asphalt products — this market disruption actually presents an opportunity.

With REGEN Fiber, producers can:

• Maintain a secure and reliable domestic supply
• Capture improved margins during global price fluctuations
• Differentiate with a fully US-made fiber reinforcement option
• Offer a concrete additive that aligns with both performance and sustainability goals

Whether your concrete mix is designed for infrastructure, commercial development, or composite fabrication, our fibers help you meet evolving performance expectations.

Beyond Steel: The Broader Materials Challenge

Some might point out that domestically produced steel concrete reinforcement remains an option. True, but steel comes with its own challenges. A large amount of steel products used in the U.S. are imported. New tariffs are creating raw material availability issues, and steel fiber and wire production is facing its own resulting cost pressures.

REGEN Fiber offers something entirely different — a domestic reinforcement fiber that’s not imported from China and provides consistency and performance without the volatility.

We deliver:

1. Stable pricing not subject to international trade fluctuations
2. Reliable product availability thanks to our U.S.-based facility
3. Domestic industry expertise aligned with real-world performance needs in concrete and composite materials

Looking Forward, Not Reacting

At REGEN Fiber, we didn’t establish domestic production in response to today’s trade environment — it’s been who we are from day one. But we recognize that what was once simply an alignment of our values, and our realities now deliver massive business value to our partners.

We’re not just another reinforcement fiber supplier — we’re an integrated partner helping concrete and asphalt producers meet performance expectations, sustainability goals, and logistical requirements, all from right here in the USA.

As the marketplace adjusts to its harsh new realities, we’re ready to be part of your solution. Whether you’re already experiencing supply chain disruptions or are proactively making plans for future bids, we invite a conversation about how U.S.-processed REGEN Fiber can help secure your fiber reinforcement supply chain.
