Nucor Acquires Alabama Facility

Mini-mill acquires cold mill from Worthington. Deal will boost company's operations at its existing Alabama facility.

 

Nucor Corporation has entered into an agreement with Worthington Industries, Inc. for the purchase of certain assets of their cold rolling mill in Decatur, Alabama for a cash purchase price of approximately $82 million. Closing of the transaction is expected to occur within the next 60 days.

 

The assets purchased include all of the buildings, the pickle line, four- stand tandem cold mill, temper mill and annealing furnaces of the Decatur facility adjacent to the current Nucor Steel Decatur, LLC steel plant.

 

"The addition of the pickle line, cold mill and annealing equipment enhances our ability to service the value-added sheet market from our Nucor Steel Decatur, LLC sheet mill similar to the capability of our other sheet mills in Indiana, Arkansas and South Carolina," said Dan DiMicco, Nucor's vice chairman, president and CEO.

SENNEBOGEN 340G telehandler improves the view in Macon County, NC

An elevated cab is one of several features improving operational efficiency at the Macon County Solid Waste Management agency in North Carolina. When it comes to waste management, efficiency, safety and reliability are priorities driving decisions from day one, according to staff members of the Macon County Solid Waste Management Department in western North Carolina. The agency operates a recycling plant in a facility originally designed to bale incoming materials. More recently, the building has undergone significant transformations centered around one machine: a SENNEBOGEN telehandler (telescopic handler).

"We look forward to integrating these assets into our company and the Sheet Group in particular," said John Ferriola, executive vice president of Nucor's Sheet Group. "We have a strong and valued relationship with Worthington and we believe this transaction will serve to strengthen that relationship. These additional assets improve our ability to supply Worthington as well as our other valued customers with a full complement of hot roll, pickled, cold rolled full hard and cold rolled fully processed coils. We are presently studying the feasibility of additional finishing capabilities at this facility to better meet the value-added product needs of our customers."
