With a production capacity that exceeds 26 million tons, Nucor is easily the largest producer of steel in the United States. But more than a steel maker, Nucor is also the world’s foremost steel recycler, and one of the largest recyclers of any kind.
Nuconsteel is just one of 90 NUCOR companies that operate independently but compete collectively. For us, research and development is more than a department - it’s a way of life. One that each of our 20,400 employees lives and breathes every single day. We also have an unusually active and free exchange of ideas and solutions across divisional, geographical, and functional boundries. This is why we are, hands down, the industry leader in innovation.
