Steel producer Nucor Corp. has launched Nucor Warehouse Systems, a business that combines two material handling industry acquisitions the company made in the past year: rack manufacturer Hannibal Industries, acquired last July, and steel racking firm Elite Storage Solutions, purchased this past April.

The shift to new branding will occur gradually over the remainder of 2022, the company said.


Nucor Warehouse Systems combines the material handling and systems integration specialties of Hannibal and Elite with access to Nucor’s broader product and service offering, which includes: insulated panels, overhead doors, metal buildings and mezzanines, as well as design, project management, permitting, engineering, contracting, and installation services.

Nucor has more than 30,000 associates across 300 locations in North America.

“Nucor Warehouse Systems may be a new name, but we are proud to be the same people that have worked together on well above $1B in integration projects built across North America,” Dave Olmsted, vice president and general manager of Nucor Warehouse Systems, said in a press release Wednesday. “We believe that by connecting the companies’ material handling expertise with broader Nucor resources, Nucor Warehouse Systems is ready to take on tomorrow’s challenges and truly respond to customer needs. We thank every loyal customer that has grown to know and trust us, and we look forward to supporting your business in the future.”

Securing the last mile

Although many shoppers will return to physical stores this holiday season, online shopping remains a driving force behind peak-season shipping challenges, especially when it comes to the last mile. Consumers still want fast, free shipping if they can get it—without any delays or disruptions to their holiday deliveries.

One disruptor that gets a lot of headlines this time of year is package theft—committed by so-called “porch pirates.” These are thieves who snatch parcels from front stairs, side porches, and driveways in neighborhoods across the country. The problem adds up to billions of dollars in stolen merchandise each year—not to mention headaches for shippers, parcel delivery companies, and, of course, consumers.
