Mr. Millett co-founded Steel Dynamics in 1993 and has been instrumental in building Steel Dynamics from its inception to its current status as one of the largest and fastest growing steel producers and metals recyclers in North America with nearly 11,000 team members. Mr. Millett has been the President and Chief Executive Officer of Steel Dynamics since January 2012 and was named Chairman of the Board in May 2021.
As one of the co-founders of Steel Dynamics, Mr. Millett and the leadership team have created a best-in-class, innovative steel company that has been committed to operating in an environmentally responsible manner since its founding. Steel Dynamics produces steel using only electric arc furnace (EAF) technology, which utilizes recycled ferrous scrap as the primary raw material. EAF steel production technology currently has the least environmental impact, is the most cost effective, and provides the most operational flexibility. With the addition of the company's metals recycling and steel fabrication operating platforms, the leadership team intentionally developed a vertically connected, circular manufacturing model, which further reduces the company's environmental impact, while providing numerous customer supply-chain advantages.
