Fives to supply equipment to Nucor’s new West Virginia steel plant

Fives has received a contract for a recoiling and inspection line to support automotive applications at the new Nucor steel plant in West Virginia. Fives also previously received orders for two galvanizing lines for this $2.7 billion facility, which is expected to begin operations in the second half of 2024.

The recoiling and inspection line includes Fives’ Eyeron quality management system that collects upstream process data, checks consistency with quality rules, and automatically assesses product quality grading. The system will track quality on the vertical galvanizing line and the recoiling and inspection line to ensure the products meet automotive quality standards.
