Commercial Metals Company To Sell Rancho Cucamonga Site

IRVING, Texas, Sept. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Commercial Metals Company (NYSE: CMC) today announced it has reached an agreement to sell the land underlying its former Steel California and Rebar Etiwanda operations, located in Rancho Cucamonga, 40 miles east of Los Angeles.  The Company's Steel California operations ceased in December 2020, and customers of its Rebar Etiwanda operations will be serviced from other CMC fabrication locations.  The site is expected to be repurposed for other industrial uses.
