Dan DiMicco is the former CEO of Nucor, a Charlotte steel company, and will release his book on manufacturing March 3. Former Nucor CEO and chairman emeritus Dan DiMicco, an outspoken supporter of U.S. manufacturing even in retirement, will release his book "American Made" on March 3. DiMicco's message in the book is that manufacturing is alive and well and shouldn't be ignored for its ability to create well-paying jobs. Investment in manufacturing, DiMicco has said, will enable the U.S. to rebuild its crumbling infrastructure, become energy independent and fix the trade imbalance.
