Nucor explores potential sites in Pacific Northwest for new rebar micro mill

Nucor announced that it is exploring potential sites in the Pacific Northwest to build a new rebar micro mill with an annual capacity of 650,000 tons, subject to approval by Nucor’s Board of Directors. The new mill would produce a full range of rebar sizes and have spooling capabilities. This would be Nucor’s fourth rebar micro mill, joining its existing micro mills in Missouri and Florida and the mill currently under construction in North Carolina. “We have had great success with our rebar micro mills in Florida and Missouri and are on schedule to begin operating our third micro mill in the Q1 of 2025, which we are currently building in North Carolina,” said Leon Topalian, Chair, President & CEO. Rebar is used primarily in the construction of roads, buildings, sidewalks and other structures. Nucor produces steel by recycling scrap metal into new steel products, making the Company one of the cleanest steel producers in the world.
