Nucor Corporation manufactures and sells steel and steel products globally.
The company can trace its roots back to the Olds Motor Vehicle Company which was founded in 1897. The automaker went through several transformations, notably into a truck manufacturer in the 1930’s, a lawn mower manufacturer in the 1950’s, and a nuclear services company in the 1960’s.
While operating as a nuclear services company, it acquired a steel joist manufacturer named Vulcraft.
Vulcraft proved to be the company’s only profitable business. At the time the company had trouble getting good quality and low-priced steel to use in manufacturing. It therefore began operating its own steel mill.
In 1972 the company changed its name to Nucor and began to expand into other steel products including hot and cold rolled steel, steel joists, and metal buildings.
Today Nucor is North America’s largest recycler of scrap metal, recycling 25 million tons of steel per year in 23 scrap-based steel production mills.
Nucor trades publicly on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol NUE, is a member of the S&P 500, is #206 in the Fortune 500, has 22,300 employees, and had $19.61 billion in revenue in 2013.

Nucor may want to check on their Birmingham employees. Having an employee with felony sex charges, domestic assault against a child, violation of a PFA as well as an active PFA AND an abusive alcoholic isn’t looking too good for Nucor.
the frostproof mill sent a email that I was no longer a candidate for a job ok sure but sending a email to a hard working American depending on this job to support my family on Thanks Giving Day in my opinon was class less happy holidays to Nucor
