A Mare Island-based steel fabrication company plans to expand, making it one of the largest businesses on the island, according to an area developer.

Alamillo Rebar, Inc., signed a lease with island master developer Lennar Mare Island, to increase its property space by 35 percent.

The company, which has about 110 employees and has been on the island for less than two years, is working locally on the Benicia Bridge retrofit construction project.

The company serves northern and central California, installing and fabricating reinforcing steel, as well as installing steel cabling.

Alamillo Rebar President Larry Alamillo said the company does not have plans to increase its work force, just expand its operations by about 17,000 square feet. This is the company's second lease expansion, according to information provided by Lennar Mare Island spokesman Jason Keadjian.

The company's main office is in Building 126, at 1101 Nimitz Ave.
