Nucor Corporation to acquire Texas plate mill

Nucor Corporation has agreed to acquire Joy Global’s steel plate mill in Longview, Texas, for approximately $29 million. The mill produces carbon and alloy plate products with heat-treating capabilities and has an annual capacity of 180,000 tons.


“This acquisition builds on our strategy to capture a growing share of higher value-added plate products and complements the capabilities of our two existing plate mills,” said John Ferriola, chairman, chief executive officer and president of Nucor.

The mill produces specialty plate products with the capability of producing plate that can range from 1 to 12 inches thick and up to 138 inches wide. Approximately 140 non-unionized teammates work at the Longview mill.

Nucor’s existing plate mills are in North Carolina and Alabama and have a combined capacity of 2.9 million tons per year.  Nucor’s existing mills produce plate for manufacturers of barges, bridges, heavy equipment, rail cars, refinery tanks, ships, wind towers, armor and other markets. Nucor plate products are also used in the pipe and tube, pressure vessel, transportation and construction industries.
