North America’s Largest Steel Manufacturer
Data Centers
Your collaborative partner for sustainable data center construction from design to installation.
We manufacture our steel products for data centers with a circular steelmaking process utilizing electric arc furnace (EAF) technology. This process creates high-quality, low-embodied carbon steel with less than one-third the carbon emissions compared to steel products made from using blast furnace-basic oxygen furnaces (BF-BOF), the predominant steelmaking process used globally.
Speed to Market
With Nucor’s integrated network of steel mills and steel product facilities across North America, we offer supply chain assurance and production commitments to deliver materials to your jobsite on schedule without the complication of overseas transportation.
Breadth Of Products & Capabilities
From the white space to the shell and everything in between, Nucor can provide the wide array of sustainable steel products you need for your data center. Nucor can serve as your partner, steel producer, installer and recycler.

Your Partner in Powering the Built World
Nucor’s steel mills are powered by electric arc furnace (EAF) technology requiring a significant amount of electrical energy to create our sustainable steel products. In many of the states our facilities are located, we are the largest power customer.
Nucor understands and recognizes the power grid in North America needs to expand exponentially to match the demand for power, especially for data center operators. We have forged partnerships with key organizations to help power the built world.
Circular Steelmaking & Sustainability
Steel is one of the most sustainable building materials and can be recycled indefinitely without any quality loss. Not all steel is created equal.
Nucor has pioneered EAF steelmaking for over 50 years and is dedicated to providing high-quality, low-embodied carbon steel products to help our partners meet their sustainability goals for their projects and organizations.
Our circular approach to steelmaking also extends to our recycling services. Nucor Data Systems can offer end-of-life recycling services for your racks and cabinets. We can manufacture and install new racks and cabinets, recycle them when they need to be replaced, and start the process again.
Our cross-functional team of specialists provides you with steel product expertise and tailor-made construction solutions from the early design stage to project completion. More than a steel producer, Nucor serves as your strategic, collaborative partner offering design support, product expertise and supply chain assurance for your sustainable and complex structures such as data centers, advanced manufacturing facilities, stadiums, warehouses, cold storage and more.
