Man of Steel wanted: Commercial Metals (CMC) manufactures, recycles, and sells enough steel and metal to test even Superman. CMC operates via five segments: Americas Recycling, its metal processing plants in the US Southwest, shreds and pulverizes scrap for sale to steel mills. Americas Mills turn out reinforcing bar, flats, rounds, fence post, and other shapes. A fabrication arm shapes, produces, and treats steel bar and angles. International business (rolling and finishing mills, recycling, and fabrication plants) churn out reinforcing bar and mesh. CMC markets and distributes steel and copper products worldwide to construction, energy, and transportation markets; the US accounts for more than half of sales.
