About Steel Dynamics

Steel Dynamics, Inc. makes metal for buildings and cars. It recycles scrap into new steel and aluminum products. These materials help manufacturers build essential infrastructure and goods.

Steel, Scrap, and New Metals

  • Steel Operations: Produces steel using electric arc furnaces that melt scrap with electricity; accounted for 66% of net sales in the second quarter of 2026.
  • Metals Recycling: Collects and processes ferrous (iron-based) and nonferrous scrap metal for mills and foundries; made up 11% of net sales in the second quarter of 2026.
  • Steel Fabrication: Manufactures steel joists and deck systems for nonresidential buildings like warehouses and offices; represented 6% of net sales in the second quarter of 2026.
  • Aluminum Operations: Makes flat-rolled products for the beverage can, automotive, and industrial sectors; contributed 8% of net sales in the second quarter of 2026.

Expanding Into Aluminum and Carbon

  • Acquired 100% ownership of SDI Biocarbon Solutions, LLC on June 19, 2026, to support its manufacturing processes.
