Background
Nucor Steel Tuscaloosa, previously owned by Corus Steel — and before that, Tuscaloosa Steel Corp. — began operating in 1985. The plant was acquired by Nucor Steel when the company bought Corus Steel for $90 million in 2004.[1] The facility produces steel coil, discrete plate and cut-to-length plate products.[2]
In 2013, the Nucor Steel Tuscaloosa plant recycled close to 19.1 million tons of scrap steel to create new products. In addition, the plant recycles cars.[1]
In 2019, the plant underwent an upgrade to modernize its heavy plate mill.[3]
