Abstract:
In 1965, Iverson became president of Nuclear Corporation of America (Nucor) and the following year he moved the financially-troubled company's headquarters to Charlotte. From those humble beginnings, the steel company was soon producing two million tons of steel and steel products per year and earning a ranking as the tenth largest steel company in the country. In 1982, Nucor had $486 million in sales and over $22 million in net earnings.
Abstract:
Twenty-five years ago Nucor Corp. was about to go under. In 1988 the company sold over $1 billion of steel and steel products, making it the ninth largest steel manufacturer in the country and the sixth-largest publicly held company in the state. While Nucor employs 5,000 people in twenty-two plants in nine states, the corporate headquarters in Charlotte employ only seventeen. In this BUSINESS NORTH CAROLINA interview, Nucor Chairman Ken Iverson talks with Donsky about Nucor and what makes it work.
