Nucor Vice President Retiring

Stratman will replace Rutkowski in position.

Joseph Rutkowski, executive vice president for Nucor Corp., will be retiring at the end of next month. He has worked for Nucor for 21 years. He was promoted to his present position in 1998.

Replacing Rutkowski will be Joseph Stratman, who will assume responsibility for business development activities while continuing his role as executive vice president of beam and plate products.

While acknowledging the leadership demonstrated by Rutkowski during his tenure with Nucor, Dan DiMicco, Nucor's chairman, CEO and president, notes that the transition to a Stratman is consistent with the company’s goals of growing the company over the long haul. “Joe Stratman is a proven Nucor leader who has strong experience both at operating divisions and at corporate. He is well-prepared to help our team build more platforms for profitable long-term growth," DiMicco says.
