About Nucor

Nucor is North America’s largest steel and steel products company. We operate 25 steel mills that produce approximately one-quarter of America’s raw steel using scrap metal as our primary raw material, and more than 250 facilities that produce raw materials or finished steel products for non-residential construction, infrastructure, automotive, heavy equipment, renewable energy and other applications. Nucor employs 30,000 teammates, and directly and through affiliates approximately 800 in North Carolina at its corporate office, Hertford County plate steel mill, three scrap processing facilities and a rebar fabrication facility in Lumberton.

Every Nucor steel mill uses an electric arc furnace (EAF) that melts recycled scrap and turns it into new steel. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Nucor is a Fortune 150 company. Nucor Steel Lexington micro mill produces clean, sustainable steel for our modern U.S. economy.

Nucor’s new reinforcing bar (rebar) micro mill in Davidson County serves the construction market in the South Atlantic Region/I-85 corridor from Maryland to Georgia

• Nucor Steel Lexington will have an annual production capacity of 430,000 tons.
• Rebar is used primarily in concrete reinforcement for the construction of roads, bridges, buildings and  other critical infrastructure. 
• By making rebar right in here in the Piedmont of North Carolina, we create savings for our customers just by reducing transportation costs. We draw on the scrap available from our company-owned scrap recycling facilities, including our three Metal Recycling Services locations in North Carolina, which will provide the scrap that is recycled into new steel rebar. 
• Nucor has 15 bar mills strategically located across the United States that manufacture a broad range of steel products, including concrete reinforcing bars, hot-rolled bars, rounds, light shapes, structural angles, channels, wire rod and highway products in carbon and alloy steels.

We can't wait to see you there!
