Nucor Presents Quaker Chemical with Safety Award
Apr. 28, 2010 Quaker Chemical was recently recognized by Nucor Steel for its ongoing commitment to the safety and well-being of their employees as well as those of their customers. A Safety Excellence Award was presented to Quaker Chemical during the Nucor Safety Summit.
Nucor Berkeley (South Carolina) has partnered with Quaker Chemical since production began in 1996. Quaker provides a variety of products to this mill including rolling oils, wet tempering fluids, cleaners, and rust preventives, including the brands Quakerol® and Ferrocote®.
