The Whitacre Engineering Company, previously known as Whitacre Rebar, has been a cornerstone of the construction industry since its founding in 1920 by John J. Whitacre. Initially focused on providing hollow clay tile fillers and other building materials, the company has evolved significantly over the past 104 years. Today, Whitacre is recognized as a leader in rebar services, offering a comprehensive package that includes rebar estimating, detailing, fabrication, placing, and pre-tie products.

The company prides itself on maintaining the highest standards of customer service and product quality. Its mission is to help projects succeed by delivering materials and labor with efficiency and precision. One of the key differentiators for Whitacre is their unique communication network that connects detailers, fabricators, and ironworkers, ensuring timely project delivery and minimized errors. This focus on coordination facilitates the ability for customers to pour concrete on or ahead of schedule, providing both time and cost savings for construction projects.
Whitacre's commitment goes beyond business; they hold strong values centered on safety, integrity, employee engagement, teamwork, and customer focus.
