Nucor is checking out five states in the Midwest and Southeast as potential sites for a new steel bar micro mill project. Locations in Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, South Carolina and Florida are under consideration. The board of directors also approved an expansion of Nucor’s existing merchant bar operations in either Illinois or Ohio.
The new micro mill and expansion are part of Nucor’s planned strategy for long-term profitable growth.
“By leveraging Nucor’s existing operating abilities, these projects will maintain our position as a low-cost producer and will allow us to better serve our customers,” said Nucor in a press release.
