Who We Are
CMC (Commercial Metals Company) was founded in 1915 as a recycling business and has grown into a global leader in sustainable solutions for early-stage construction. Headquartered in Irving, Texas, CMC is a publicly traded company (NYSE: CMC) and employs over 13,000 people in 209 facilities across the United States (U.S.), the United Kingdom (UK), the European Union (EU) and Asia.
The success of our business is built on our guiding principles of placing the customer at the core of all we do, staying committed to our employees, giving back to our communities and creating value for our investors, all while continuing our commitment to sustainability.
Over the last 110 years, we’ve prioritized investing in new technologies and processes that improve quality while enhancing resource efficiency and utilization. All of our steel-producing facilities use energy-saving electric arc furnace (EAF) technology, which we pioneered. EAF technology significantly reduces the energy required to produce steel compared to the traditional integrated steelmaking technology (Basic Oxygen Furnace) used by most global steelmakers today.
In 2009, we were the first in the world to successfully construct and operate the micro mill, which took efficiency to new levels. More recently, we also became the first in the world to operate a micro mill capable of producing merchant bar quality (MBQ) products.
For us, sustainability is never an afterthought. It guides us as we evolve our business to reflect our expanding role as a construction solutions provider. Our increasingly differentiated business model and focus on technological efficiencies enable us to reduce our costs and risks, which in turn allows us to develop and produce the sustainable products our society needs to build and grow.
