Nucor is an Equal Opportunity Employer and a drug-free workplace
Nucor makes steel and steel products for construction, automotive, energy, and industrial customers across North America. It runs electric arc furnace mills that produce sheet, plate, bar, and structural steel, then turns much of that metal into finished goods such as joists, decking, rebar, and metal buildings. Its operations span three segments: steel mills, steel products, and raw materials, which include scrap brokerage and iron production that feed its own mills. Nucor earns revenue by selling steel and fabricated products to manufacturers, builders, and distributors, with prices that move with steel markets. The company was incorporated in Delaware in 1958 and is based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
