Steel Dynamics is the fifth largest producer of carbon steel products in United States.
Steel Dynamics, Inc. (SDI) is the USA’s fifth largest producer of carbon steel products with 2010 revenues of $6.3 billion on steel shipments of 5.3 million tons. Based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, SDI employs about 6,100 and operates five electric-furnace mini mills. Over sixty percent of the company’s steel shipments are flat-rolled sheet steel and the remainder is “long products” (bars and beams) and fabricated products. SDI is among the most profitable American steel companies in terms of profit margins and operating profit per ton.
Founded in 1993, SDI began production at its Butler, Indiana, Flat Roll Mill in 1996. This state-of-the-art mill remains a world leader in its productivity and in mini-mill production of flat-rolled steels. The Flat Roll Division’s finishing facilities at Butler and at Jeffersonville, Indiana, produce pickled, cold-rolled, galvanized, and painted flat-roll steel. In 2007 SDI acquired The Techs, three galvanizing plants in Pittsburgh that coat flat-rolled steel.
Steel Dynamics was founded in 1993, with corporate headquarters located in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
