Business: Steel Dynamics, Inc. is unique among American steel companies. Founded in 1993, they are one of the youngest of America's major steel companies. They quickly grew to become one of the premier carbon steel producers in the United States. Steel Dynamics' historic growth is a combination of organic capacity greenfield additions and strategic acquisitions. By adding upstream assets that provide raw materials needed to produce high quality steel at each of their mills, and bridging downstream assets that fabricate a variety of high quality steel products, Steel Dynamics has both broadened their product portfolio and expanded their market diversity.
