Our History

A Different Kind of Company
Nucor started as an underdog. We didn’t have the biggest mills or the deepest pockets, but we had the best people. The company was built on a simple idea: Take care of your people and they’ll take care of the business. That philosophy continues to move us forward today.
From our first Vulcraft facility in South Carolina in 1962 to becoming North America’s largest steel manufacturer and recycler, Nucor has always done things with our team’s best interests in mind.
