Nucor

Nucor is the largest steel producer in the United States, founded in 1940 and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. It makes steel largely from recycled scrap using electric arc furnaces, a lower-emissions route than traditional blast furnaces, and employs tens of thousands across dozens of mills. Nucor is building a roughly $4 billion sheet mill in Apple Grove, West Virginia that will produce up to 3 million tons a year. The company supplies bar, sheet, plate and structural steel to construction, automotive, energy and manufacturing markets nationwide.

Nucor Corporation manufactures steel and fabricated steel products from its headquarters at 1915 Rexford Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. The company describes itself as North America’s largest and most diversified steel producer, and reports a workforce of 33,000 teammates. Its steel is made using electric arc furnaces and scrap-based inputs, an approach the company ties to a circular economy and lower embodied carbon.

The product line spans structural beam, plate, rebar, sheet, hot-rolled and cold-finished bar, merchant bar, and wire and wire mesh, backed by a network of 27 steel mills. Beyond raw steel, Nucor makes fabricated products including steel joists, decking, metal buildings, conduit, hollow structural sections, overhead doors, and insulated metal panels, and it offers rebar fabrication and installation services. A family of brands, among them Vulcraft, Skyline, Harris Supply Solutions, Laurel Steel, and several metals-recycling operations, extends that catalog.

Nucor serves industries that include construction, automotive, energy, data centers, infrastructure, agriculture, military and defense, and transportation, and it provides design consultation alongside its product expertise. The company has set science-based greenhouse gas targets aiming for net zero by 2050 across Scopes 1, 2 and 3, and markets low-embodied-carbon certifications such as Econiq for customers pursuing sustainability goals.

Publicly traded on the NYSE under the ticker NUE, Nucor also operates as one of the largest scrap recyclers in North America. Its Charlotte headquarters anchors operations that reach across the United States and Canada.
