1010 OPERATIONS REVIEW
BAR MILLS
Nucor has 13 bar mills located across the United States. Steel produced at these mills includes concrete reinforcing bars, hot-rolled
bars, rounds, light shapes, structural angles, channels, wire rod and highway products in carbon and alloy steels. These products
have a wide usage serving primarily the agricultural, automotive, construction, energy, furniture, machinery, metal building, railroad,
recreational equipment, shipbuilding, heavy truck and trailer market segments. The total capacity of the bar mills is approximately
9,110,000 tons per year.
Nucor began work in 2012 on a $290 million strategic investment to expand our SBQ and wire rod production capabilities
by approximately one million tons. During 2013, significant progress was made on these investments taking place at the Nebraska,
South Carolina and Tennessee bar mills. Nucor has begun production on its new wire rod mill located in South Carolina. The
Nebraska mill successfully started up its upgraded rolling mill that includes new shears and straightening equipment. The
Tennessee mill has completed the installation and commissioning of a new quality assurance line. The investments will continue
into 2014 on this strategic initiative. These investments will allow Nucor to greatly expand our product offerings and to supply the
most demanding engineered bar application markets. With our 13 bar mills strategically located across the United States, we will
continue to be able to provide the full range of merchant, structural and rebar products to all of our regional customers.
