This will be Nucor’s fourth and largest rebar micro mill, with approximately 50% more production capacity than the mill currently under construction in North Carolina.“
The rebar we produce at our Nucor micro mills is made from nearly 100% recycled scrap, making it some of the cleanest steel made anywhere in the world,” said Leon Topalian, chair, president, and CEO of Nucor. “This new rebar micro mill in the Pacific Northwest will help Nucor maintain its leadership in the steel bar market and further execute our strategy to better serve our customers west of the Rocky Mountains, which also includes the addition of a melt shop at our Arizona bar mill.”
The new mill will produce a full range of rebar sizes and will have spooling capabilities. Rebar is used primarily in the construction of roads, buildings, and other structures.
Nucor currently 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.
