Nucor to Resume Louisiana DRI Production at End of January
Written by Sandy Williams
Nucor announced it will resume operations at its direct reduced iron (DRI) plant in Louisiana at the end of January. Operations were suspended at the end of last year due to market conditions following a scheduled maintenance outage.
The company said in a statement: “Nucor’s raw materials strategy is built on flexibility, with the company constantly evaluating the market for the lowest cost raw material inputs at the quality levels our customers need. Changes in the raw materials market led to the decision to restart plant operations.”
