Large steel manufacturer opening plant in Berkeley County

HUGER, S.C. (WCBD) – A large manufacturer of steel and steel products will soon open a site in Berkeley County.

“Nucor manufactures a variety of products including carbon and alloy steel; hollow structural tubing; electrical conduit; precision castings; and more. The company’s products serve the agriculture, automotive and energy industries along with various others,” state leaders said in a release.

The expansion of Nucor includes the construction of an air separation unit (ASU) to supply industrial gases to the mill’s steelmaking operations. When completed, a Nucor subsidiary, UIG, LLC will operate the ASU – a project that allows the plant to produce and supply needed gases to produce steel at the new facility.
