CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Nucor Corporation (NYSE: NUE) announced today that the Company's Towers & Structures business unit will build its second state-of-the-art utility structures production facility in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Earlier this year the Company announced plans to build its first structure production facility in Decatur, Alabama. The new facility will be located adjacent to the Nucor Steel Crawfordsville steel mill and is expected to create 200 full-time jobs.

"With this second utility structure production facility, we are expanding our Towers & Structures business and positioning the Company to meet the growing demand for utility infrastructure from renewable energy projects, EV charging network expansion and grid hardening," said Leon Topalian, Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nucor Corporation. "As one of the most sustainable steelmakers in the world, we believe energy infrastructure should be built with low embodied carbon American steel."
"Today is truly yet another exciting day for Nucor, Indiana and our state's growing energy ecosystem," said Governor Eric J. Holcomb. "Nucor has been a great company partner to our state for decades, and this new Towers & Structures operation is a true testament to the Company's commitment to the Montgomery County region and to our Hoosier pro-growth business climate and skilled workforce."
Federal legislation passed in the last few years, including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act, provide nearly half a trillion dollars in funding and incentives to build out our nation's clean energy future, creating increasing demand for transmission and other utility structures. Demand is also being driven by infrastructure damage stemming from natural disasters, replacement of aging utility infrastructure and population growth.
Last year, Nucor formed its Nucor Towers & Structures business unit when it acquired Summit Utility Structures LLC, a producer of metal poles and other steel structures for utility infrastructure. The Company announced plans at that time to establish a nationwide footprint by building two new utility structure production facilities for a combined investment of $270 million. Both the Indiana and Alabama facilities will be highly automated, utilizing efficient straight-line production, and will also include advanced hot-dip galvanizing operations.
"Nucor has been doing business in Indiana since 1972 and today we have more than 2,500 teammates working at multiple locations across the state. We are excited to build on that history with our new Towers & Structures production facility," said Laurent De Mey, General Manager of Nucor Towers & Structures. "We appreciate the support we have received from state and local officials, including Governor Eric Holcomb, Secretary of Commerce, Brad Chambers, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, Montgomery County and the City of Crawfordsville."
"We are excited that Nucor has chosen to locate their new towers and structures manufacturing facility in Montgomery County. Our County team has worked hard to create the environment to attract new jobs and investment in the County and we are starting to see the results of these efforts." Montgomery County Commissioner President John Frey.
