Hello, jdunlap-ga!
Costa Rica
**********
I could find absolutely no listing for Intrefic, and wonder if you
might have the name wrong. However, I currently have an outstanding
e-mail to a business organization in Costa Rica that should send me
the names of all suppliers and exporters of galvanized flat wire
within the country. It may take a day or two until I hear from them. I
will post the answer in a clarification.
Otherwise, I could find no seperate listings for Costa Rica galvanize
flat wire producers.

The following website contains names of companies in Chile which also
deal with wire, though whether they offer, produce and export
galvanized wire, I cannot tell. You many want to click on each
highlighted company name and contact them, however.

The article, "A Volatile Outlook for Latin America’s Steel," BY
CORINNA C.PETRY, MANAGING EDITOR. Metal Center News (March 1999)
http://www.metalcenternews.com/1999/0399/9903F3.htm
highlights some companies that may be possible producers and exporters
of flat galvanized steel.
For Example:
"GS Industries Inc., Charlotte, N.C., is an old hand in Latin
America."
"The company acquired, some years ago, a number of Armco Inc.’s
operations in South America when it divested wire rod, grinding media
and wire fabricating operations. The company’s oldest plant, in Chile,
is 38 years old."
"When Empresa Siderurgica del Peru (Siderperu) privatized in 1995, GS
Industries was part of a consortium that provided the winning bid. GS
Industries had teamed with a capital firm and a Latin American bank,
and serves as the company’s operating partner."
"The integrated mill makes hot- and cold-rolled and galvanized
flat-roll products, and long products, supplying round bars to its
grinding media plants in both Peru and Chile. Siderperu also sells
rebar and corrugated products. Annual production ranges from 400,000
to 500,000 metric tons."

and look to see any promising producers of galvanized steel. I am at a
disadvantage because I can't read Spanish.

This answer is not as extensive as I would like, and I will continue
to look for more names. However, since I am pressed for time right
now, and am awaiting an e-mail from the Costa Rica link, I wanted to
post what I had.
Let me know if you can narrow down any more information, or any other
names you have heard mentioned, and I will try to search further.
Will let you know when I receive further information.
