About the Company

Commercial Metals

Recycling-based steel production and fabrication

Commercial Metals Company (CMC) manufactures steel and metal products in a vertically integrated model that spans recycling, steel production, and fabrication. It runs recycling plants to collect and process scrap metal, which serves as the main raw material for its mills. The steel mills produce products such as rebar, merchant bar, and wire rod, which are sold mainly to the construction industry for infrastructure, commercial, and residential projects. CMC also operates fabrication facilities that customize steel products by cutting, bending, and other processing to meet customer needs. The company mainly serves customers in the United States and Europe and maintains control over the entire supply chain—from scrap sourcing to finished products—giving it cost advantages and tighter quality control over the final materials.
