Steel products manufacturer Nucor Corp., Charlotte, N.C., has acquired the assets of Omega Joist, a subsidiary of Samuel, Son & Co. Ltd.

Omega Joist, which has 43 employees, now operates as Vulcraft-Omega, one of 12 Nucor joist and deck production facilities. Nucor plans to add products to Vulcraft-Omega's product portfolio, including steel deck.
