Brigham City, UT — Metl-Span®, a Nucor company, has begun operating its new insulated metal panel (IMP) manufacturing facility located in Brigham City, Utah. Nucor Corporation is North America’s largest steel producer and recycler. Nucor produces steel by recycling scrap metal in electric arc furnaces to make new steel products, making the company one of the most sustainable steel producers in the world. The new $35 million, 127,000 square foot facility is bringing approximately 60 new high-quality manufacturing jobs to Brigham City, and will produce a comprehensive range of insulated wall and roof panels or use in end markets such as warehousing, distribution and data centers. IMPs facilitate cost-effective climate control in the built environment and reduce energy usage and overall operations related GHG emissions for owners and lessees.
As a pioneer in sustainability steelmaking over the past fifty-plus years, Nucor takes pride in offering solutions that empower our customers and communities to reduce energy costs and minimize their carbon footprint. Built with sustainability in mind, the new NIPG facility features enhanced energy efficiency thanks to its own façade of high-performance Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) used for walls and roofs from Metl-Span®. In addition, panels produced at the new Brigham City plant can be made with sustainably produced, Nucor steel. Combined with a foam system that features zero ozone-depletion and low global-warming-potential, the system achieves high insulation values.
Approximately 1,000 of Nucor’s 32,000+ teammates work for NIPG. This new state-of-the-art Utah facility is our tenth NIPG operating facility in the U.S. and Canada. Along with our headquarters in Lewisville, Texas and our R-&-D and Testing facility, the NIPG team has the capacity to design, produce and deliver close to 100,000 tons of insulated panel product every year. We service customers across North America with a range of sustainable solutions for all their construction needs.
“Our Nucor Insulated Panel Group is a great example of how our sustainable growth strategy is working. In a few short years, we have established a nationwide footprint to supply our customers with a range of insulated panel products to serve fast-growing markets like distribution and data centers. Our new Utah location enhances our ability to serve our customers in the western U.S. and Canada with these high-quality products.” – Brad Ford, Executive Vice President, Fabricated Products, Nucor Corporation
“As an industry leader in sustainability, Nucor is proud to offer solutions that enable our customers to save on energy costs while reducing their carbon footprint in our communities. Our panels team is excited to get to work here in Utah, and we look forward to being your partner in this community for decades to come. The steel that our future is built with matters – and there’s no safer, stronger, more sustainable steel than Nucor steel.” – Josh Wall, President, NIPG

“Brigham City holds a special place in Nucor’s history. We have been doing business in the city since 1981, long before we became North America’s largest steel producer and one of the top five recyclers in the world. We appreciate the tremendous support we have enjoyed from Brigham City and Box Elder County, and are proud to continue to invest and grow here.” – Moises Castro, Operations Manager, NIPG
