Nucor plans $200M upgrade to South Carolina plant

Nucor has operated in South Carolina for 60 years, since it acquired its first steel plant in Darlington. It's investing $200 million over the next in its Berkeley plant in Huger.

HUGER, S.C. — Nucor Corp. is planning a five-year, $200 million mill modernization at its Nucor Steel Berkeley plant in Huger, South Carolina. That includes an air separation unit built by Nucor subsidiary Universal Industrial Gases.
