Integrity
We engineer the whole connection — both halves of the splice — and stand behind every lot with independent data.
About AGBA
MADE AT SOURCE. TESTED AT EVERY STEP.
AGBA Corporation is a Nagpur-based manufacturer of precision parallel-thread rebar couplers. From our works at Butibori MIDC, we produce, gauge-check and certify every coupler in-house, then dispatch direct to site across India.
We started from a simple conviction: a mechanical splice should be as trustworthy as the bar it joins. That means forging before threading, holding clear cover with slim-wall geometry, and putting independent test data in every box. Build with trust. Build with AGBA.

What we stand for
OUR PRINCIPLES
Precision
Gauge-verified threads, slim-wall geometry and 100% checking. No sampling, no shortcuts, no rework.
Accountability
Heat-number traceability and a certificate per batch mean every coupler can be verified from cage to closeout.
Site-first thinking
Our geometry is tuned for the realities of a congested cage — cleaner pours, fewer NCRs, lower cost.
Company
MADE IN NAGPUR, TO THE STANDARD
AGBA Corporation manufactures parallel-thread mechanical rebar couplers at C-94, MIDC Butibori, under BIS Licence CM/L-7400091707. We supply the couplers, and we deploy the machines and technicians that prepare the bar ends they join.
Both halves
Coupler and bar end
Cold forging and threading machines with trained technicians, so one quality system covers the whole connection.
Traceable
Marking to mill heat
Batch and heat traceability from raw tube to despatch, recorded and retrievable against the marking on the coupler.
Local
Nagpur based
Technical support, replacement stock and a site visit are a drive away, not a courier away.

UNDERSTANDING THE CODE
The standard, and the site practice that follows from it — written for the people who have to specify, install and sign off a mechanical splice.
IS 16172 is the Indian standard governing couplers for mechanical splicing of bars. The 2023 revision tightened thread form and residual slip requirements. These are the clauses that decide what you can specify.
Both classes must develop the specified tensile strength of the parent bar. Class H additionally satisfies the tighter residual-slip limit and the fatigue requirement, which is what makes it the class to specify for seismic and dynamically loaded structures. AGBA manufactures both, and the class is marked on the coupler.
IS 16172:2023 · Annex G
The parallel thread form. Pitch, flank angle and depth are all gauge-verified on every coupler — not measured by sample.
