  • NUCOR CORP Profile

    Nucor continues to electrify the steel industry with a simple concept: The minimill is mighty. At its various minimills, Nucor produces about 20 million tons of steel annually, including hot- and cold-rolled steel, steel joists, and metal buildings. A major recycler of scrap metal, Nucor produces steel by melting scrap in electric arc furnaces. Most of its products are sold to steel service centers, manufacturers, and fabricators. Divisions such as Vulcraft -- one of the US's largest producers of steel joists, girders, and decking -- use the balance of the steel. The company has added to its operations through acquisitions since 2006, including spending $1.1 billion to buy The David J. Joseph Company.
