Nucor Plans New Plate Mill for Midwest
Written by Sandy Williams
Nucor Corp. announced on Monday that it is scouting the Midwest for a suitable location to build a $1.35 billion EAF mill that is capable of producing 1.2 million tons of steel plate products annually.
Nucor expects site selection to be completed in 2019 and construction to begin as soon as permits are secured. The bulk of the investment (80 percent) will be spent during the construction phase in 2020 and 2021. Nucor anticipates the mill will be fully operational in 2022.
