Nucor to acquire Rytec Corporation in all-cash transaction valued at $565M

Nucor Corporation announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Rytec Corporation, a manufacturer and seller of high-speed, high-performance commercial doors. The all-cash transaction is valued at $565 million, which represents approximately 12.5x Rytec’s estimated 2024 EBITDA. With over 300 teammates operating out of two manufacturing facilities in Wisconsin, Rytec is widely considered to be the pre-eminent brand for high-performance commercial doors. “Rytec is a leader in high-performance commercial doors and serves several growing end-user markets. This acquisition further executes our strategy to expand beyond our core steelmaking businesses into related downstream businesses. Adding high-performance doors will create cross-selling opportunities with other Nucor businesses and greatly expand Nucor’s product portfolio serving the commercial arena,” said Leon Topalian, Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nucor. “Rytec has a strong cultural fit with Nucor, and we are excited to welcome the Rytec teammates to the Nucor family.”
