Vulcraft
One of Vulcraft’s seven manufacturing facilities is located in Fort Payne, Alabama and it specializes in the production of steel joists and joist girders as well as steel deck.
Vulcraft is the United States' largest producer of steel joists and steel deck products. Vulcraft Corporation was incorporated on June 12, 1946, in Florence, South Carolina and in 1962, Vulcraft was sold to Nuclear Corporation of America which would then become Nucor Corporation in 1972.
On April 3, 1967, Nuclear purchased M&S Steel Company of Fort Payne, Alabama. M&S would become Vulcraft Alabama, one of the few Vulcraft divisions that Nuclear would acquire instead of constructing. In 1986 the division relocated to newly constructed facilities in north Fort Payne.
Nucor's seven Vulcraft facilities are located in South Carolina, Nebraska, Alabama, Texas, Indiana, Utah and New York. Current annual capacity of all seven plants in the production of steel joists and joist girders is more than 685,000 tons.
Six of of Nucor's Vulcraft facilities also produce steel deck. Plants that produce steel deck are located in South Carolina, Nebraska, Alabama, Texas, Indiana and New York. Current annual capacity of the six plants in the production of steel deck is approximately 430,000 tons.
