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.
