Company Overview
Commercial Metals Company (CMC), established in 1915 in Dallas, Texas, has evolved from a single scrap operation into a global Fortune 500 enterprise. With hundreds of facilities and over 13,000 employees across the United States, Europe, and Asia, CMC is a prominent leader in the metals industry. The company's core principles emphasize superior customer service, integrity, safety, shareholder value, and community engagement. CMC is dedicated to 'building a sustainable world,' integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies throughout its business model, from recycling to steel production.
Products and Services
CMC offers a comprehensive portfolio of long steel products and construction solutions. Its steel mills utilize advanced Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared to industry averages. Key offerings include various forms of rebar—straight, fabricated, spooled, and coiled—alongside wire rod, merchant bar, and structural shapes. For enhanced durability, CMC provides corrosion-resistant reinforcing steels such as ChromX® (offering up to 100 years of service life), GalvaBar® (a fabricatable galvanized rebar), and epoxy-coated rebar, as well as stainless steel rebar for extreme environments. The company also supplies proprietary products like CryoSteel®, engineered for cryogenic applications such as LNG tanks.
Beyond steel production, CMC delivers specialized construction solutions. Its Tensar® division provides geogrids and ground improvement technologies for civil engineering, while CMC Cable offers post-tension cable systems, barrier cables, concrete scanning, and coring services. CMC Southern Post manufactures Sheffield brand T-posts for fencing. Furthermore, CMC Impact Metals specializes in high-performance steels, including TruSHIELD™ ballistic armor plate, TruSTRENGTH™ high-strength bar, angle, and plate, and TruWEAR™ abrasion-resistant steel. The company also operates CMC Bridge Systems, providing innovative InQuik® modular bridge solutions, and maintains a robust recycling division that processes millions of tons of scrap metal annually.
Innovation and Sustainability
CMC prides itself on being a 'company of firsts,' having pioneered the world's first highly energy-efficient micro mill and introduced spooled rebar in the U.S. Its commitment to sustainability is evident in the Zero product line, offering carbon-neutral steel solutions, and its continuous efforts to optimize energy consumption and lower emissions. CMC's vertically integrated business model, connecting recycling, steelmaking, and fabrication, enhances efficiency and supports a circular economy. The company's customer-centric approach is further exemplified by its online customer portal, myCMC, facilitating efficient order management and delivery tracking.
