BIR Announces Posthumous Award

Nucor's Iverson to be recognized at international recycling conference.

Published May 06, 2002

In recognition of his outstanding contribution to the international recycling and steel industry, BIR will be making a posthumous award to Ken Iverson, former Chairman and CEO of Nucor Corp. The presentation ceremony for this, the BIR Gold Medal - which is the federation’s highest award - will be held at BIR’s General Assembly May 30th.

The BIR Gold Medal has only been awarded 5 times in the over 50-years of the BIR.

Under Iverson, Nucor grew from a relatively small company into the ranks of the world’s top steel makers. Nucor today is the world’s largest mini-mill operator, the U.S.’s largest recycler of any material and the country’s largest and most profitable steel producer with an output of 12.3 million tons last year.
