Concrete & Construction
The same stake, bolt or bar goes by a different name on every site and in every language. This page lists the names buyers and suppliers use in the US, the UK and Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, and in French, German, Italian and Spanish, each linked to the Corona product it describes.
Five languages, seven markets
