Steel Dynamics

Steel Dynamics makes steel and recycled metals for buildings, cars, and factories. Its products help build bridges, offices, and vehicles. The company’s steel and aluminum support construction and manufacturing across the US and beyond.

Products and Services

• Steel Operations (72% of revenue): Sheet steel, beams, bars, and rail for construction, automotive, and manufacturing.
• Metals Recycling (11%): Processes scrap metal—like old cars and appliances—into reusable steel and nonferrous metals.
• Steel Fabrication (8%): Makes steel joists, girders, and deck products for non-residential buildings.
• Aluminum Operations (2%): Produces recycled aluminum sheets for cans, cars, and industrial uses.

Growth and Expansion

• Launched a recycled aluminum mill in Columbus, Mississippi in 2025.
• Acquired the remaining 55% of New Process Steel in December 2025.
• Opened a biocarbon facility in 2025 to cut emissions at steel mills.
• Expanded with new aluminum slab centers in Mexico (2025) and the US (under construction).

What Makes Steel Dynamics Stand Out

The company uses a circular model, recycling scrap into new steel and aluminum. Its electric arc furnaces cut emissions compared to older steelmaking methods. Facilities are close to customers, reducing transport costs and delivery times.
