Nucor Plans New Tube Mill in the Midwest
Written by Sandy Williams
Nucor today announced board approval to build a tube mill in the Midwestern U.S. The $164 million project will be completed within two years and will capitalize on Nucor’s recent Midwest investments that include a plate mill, galvanizing line and hot roll expansion. A specific location for the new plant was not provided, but sources expect it will be close to Crawfordsville, Ind.
“Adding a tube mill in the Midwest will allow us to leverage recent investments we have made and further strengthen our market leadership position as a low-cost producer of steel products,” said President and CEO Leon Topalian. “Building this tube mill puts us in a great position to serve the largest consuming regions of the U.S. for hollow structural section tubing and solar energy.”
