New Mare Island firm will boost local economy

A 33,000 square foot office and manufacturing facility—Alamillo Rebar—has joined the Lennar Mare Island Business Roster.

Michael Ammann, president of Solano Economic Development Corporation, said Alamillo Rebar, Inc. will create 40 new job opportunities for local residents.

“It’s great news to learn of Mare Island’s successful location of Alamillo Rebar and the creation of 40 new job opportunities for Vallejoans,” Ammann said.

Lennar Mare Island said Alamillo has signed the lease for the facility and is settling into its new home at Building 126. The firm was founded by Bay Area father and son, Larry and Joe Alamillo. The newly-formed company specializes in the fabrication and installation of steel bar—rebar—products.

The Lennar Company said Alamillo Rebar brings state-of-the-art machining process that allows the firm to enter customer specifications into computerized machines, and the machine bends the rebar accordingly. The machine is only one of a number of advanced equipment and technology that Alamillo utilizes to satisfy its customer’s order.

Amman said: “The adoption of new technology in an old industry—as demonstrated by Alamillo Rebar—is the essential successful ingredient that complements the superior advantages of location in the City of Vallejo on Mare Island.
