Nucor

Nucor Corporation was incorporated in 1940 as the Nuclear Corporation of America and now has its headquarters situated in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the United States. The company's business operations are predominantly concentrated in three key segments: Steel Mills, Steel Products, and Raw Materials. The Steel Mills segment is dedicated to the production of a variety of steel products, including hot-rolled, cold-rolled, and galvanized sheet steel, alongside structural and bar steel products. The Steel Products segment further specializes in the manufacture of steel structures and components such as steel joists and joist girders, steel deck, and fabricated concrete reinforcing steel. In addition, it produces cold-finished steel, steel fasteners, pre-engineered metal building systems, steel grating, and wire and wire mesh. Raw Materials form the third cardinal segment, which focuses on the production of direct reduced iron that is essential for use in steel mills, along with the production of both ferrous and nonferrous metals. The Nucor brand is the mainstay of the corporation's identity, however, it operates through various subsidiaries including Harris Steel, The David J. Joseph Company, and Vulcraft, each recognized for their contributions to Nucor's comprehensive product offerings. Although the United States represents the primary market for Nucor's sales, their reach extends internationally, with Canada and Mexico being particularly important international markets for Nucor's products. This international dimension reflects the global nature of the steel industry and the interconnected supply chains that service it. (Powered by AI)
