Mark Twain once said:

“It’s not the size of the dog

in the fight, it’s the size of

the fight in the dog.”

Nucor Cold Finish wasn’t always the largest cold finish producer in North America. In fact, like our parent company, Nucor Corporation, our beginnings were small. But, we’ve grown to become a cold finish producer that has numerous production plants and offers the widest range of products you can find from one manufacturer. And we know exactly how we got here: by building partnerships with our customers and providing them with quality products, priced right and delivered on time.


In an age where steel manufacturers find themselves in an increasingly difficult competitive environment, Nucor Corporation and Nucor Cold Finish Group have flourished.


Why? Because Nucor’s core business philosophies result in a highly competitive company focused on doing what it takes to succeed.


First, being a leader in technology and innovation keeps Nucor ahead of the pack. A shining example is our use of scrap metal as the raw material for our steel. Nucor pioneered this method, and as a result, our steel mills are among the most efficient and competitive in the world.


Secondly, we believe that our teammates are the ones who make our company “tick”. Nucor is known as a reliable employer that puts safety first each and every day. Employees are empowered to make decisions and are compensated well, with an incentive based pay structure that rewards safety, quality and productivity. With few layers of management, decisions can be made quickly at the production line level.


Nucor and Nucor Cold Finish have used these principals to move forward, positioning us to continue bringing new levels of efficiency, quality and service to the cold finish industry.
