AMERICAN COMPANY NUCOR FASTENER CONTINUES ITS EXPANSION AFTER PURCHASING A COIL PROCESSING PLANT IN INDIANA
Nucor Corporation is expanding its Nucor Fastener division with the acquisition of an existing state-of-the-art coil processing facility in Shelbyville, Indiana. This facility includes an automated cleaning and coating line, 2 STC® ovens and wire drawing capabilities.
The company has further announced the expansion of its fastener manufacturing capabilities by installing bolt manufacturing equipment at the Shelbyville facility. This new operation will employ approximately 33 team members with the aim of doubling these jobs in the medium term as it reaches full production capacity.
Joey Loosle, General Manager of Nucor Fastener has shown his enthusiasm with this new acquisition. %22This facility will help expand our offerings to the automotive, heavy truck, industrial / MRO and structural fastener markets. Nucor Fastener is already a leader in steel fasteners and this expansion will further enhance that position,%22 he adds.
By recycling steel in electric arc furnaces, Nucor is among the cleanest steel producers in the world, with greenhouse gas emissions representing one-third of the global average for steel production and nearly one-fifth of the average blast furnace steel producer. In addition, the fastener products are manufactured with 97% recycled content, which is much more sustainable than fasteners produced from blast furnace steel manufactured in other countries.
