NJR Steel was founded in 1980 by Nigel Riley. Its first subsidiary, Northern Steel and Pipe opened its doors in Samcor Park, Pretoria East. Since then NJR Steel has significantly grown its capability to service its customers and currently has branches in Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, North West Province and KwaZulu-Natal.

Over the years, NJR Steel’s growth strategy has been focused on both organic and acquisitive growth. Acquisitive growth has involved the purchase of several associated and aligned steel businesses, thereby creating a solid platform for further expansion.

The group’s extensive network of branches, range of products, stock-holding, delivery fleet and value-added services ensures that it is well positioned to consistently offer its customers high levels of support and service at the right price.

As part of its social development programme, NJR Steel has supported the Refilwe Community skills development project for many years and will continue to help previously disadvantaged communities in the future. NJR Steel is committed to achieving tangible BEE status, addressing issues such as ownership, employment, development and procurement.

In catering for the needs of our various customers and employees, as well as striving to address the codes stipulated in the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Codes of Good Practice, NJR Steel is pleased to announce a new BEE partnership.
The partnership is being facilitated through the formation of a new company, Khuthala Steel (Pty) Ltd, which includes shareholding for some of our staff, and embraces skills development and preferential procurement. Khuthala Steel (Pty) Ltd is currently rated as a Level 4 BEE company.
