Nucor Executive Vice President Ladd Hall will retire on June 20 after 39 years with the company. Hall began his career at Nucor Steel-Utah in 1981 in sales, progressing through several managerial positions until his promotion to Vice President of Nucor in 1994 and to Executive Vice President in 2007.
“Ladd has been an exceptional leader over the last four decades,” commented President and CEO Leon Topalian. “He has made outstanding contributions throughout his career to our company’s unique culture, to our strong record of profitable growth and to taking care of our customers. Most importantly, Ladd never wavered in his commitment to safety. On behalf of the Nucor family, I want to thank Ladd for his leadership and his lasting contribution to the continued success of Nucor. We wish Ladd a long and happy retirement.”
Allen Behr, a 14-year veteran of the company and current General Manager of Nucor-Steel Texas, will be promoted to Executive Vice President upon Hall’s retirement.
