Reflecting on NJR Steel's Transformative Year of Community Engagement and Strategic Expansion in 2023

As the year comes to a close, we at NJR Steel are taking a moment to reflect on the milestones that have shaped an exceptional year for our company.


From supporting national pride to expanding our reach, 2023 has been a year of strategic growth and heartfelt community engagement.


Here’s a look back at the defining moments of the year.

Expanding Horizons: Staalbeer Acquisition and Cape Town Branch

In 2023, our acquisition of the Staalbeer Steel Merchants branches in Potchefstroom, Vereeniging, and Bothaville and the launch of our first branch in Cape Town represented a major achievement for our company.


These well-planned initiatives not only increased our presence but also enhanced our ability to serve and broadened our range of products.

Cheering the Springboks to Victory

The Rugby World Cup 2023 will be remembered for the unity it brought to our nation and to NJR Steel.


We rallied behind the Springboks, our branches pulsing with excitement. The tournament echoed the core values of NJR Steel - teamwork, determination, and a relentless spirit.

Spotlight on NJR Steel Witbank

Our Witbank branch was proudly featured on Kyknet ontbytsake, showcasing our commitment to local growth and community involvement.


This highlight has brought us closer to the people we serve, reinforcing our mission to be more than just a steel supplier, but a community partner.

Riding for a Cause with Seeds of Africa

In the Virgin Active 947 Ride Joburg Cycle Race, NJR Steel pedaled beyond the finish line.


Our collaboration with Seeds of Africa went beyond mere sponsorship; it was an expression of our commitment to social responsibility and community upliftment.

Introducing NJR Steel Online

2023 also marked the digital transformation of our services with the launch of the NJR Steel Online Store.


This innovative platform is designed to provide a seamless and comprehensive shopping experience, reaffirming our promise of quality and convenience.

Mandela Day: A Partnership with Purpose

Mandela Day saw us deepen our relationship with Seeds of Africa.


We joined hands to support their Enterprise Development and Supplier Development Programs, which are igniting economic revival within local communities and driving sustainable progress.

Reconstructing Amandletu School Bridge

The year also brought challenges, such as the KwaZulu Natal floods.


NJR Steel took part in reconstructing the Amandletu School Bridge, a testament to our commitment to safety and societal well-being.

As we bid farewell to 2023, we extend our deepest gratitude to our customers, partners, and the communities we serve. Your support has been the steel backbone to our success.


Looking ahead, we are excited for what the future holds and are committed to building a stronger, more connected South Africa.

At NJR Steel, this day is more than a date on the calendar; it is a call to action embraced with heart and purpose. Across the country, our branches transformed the spirit of Mandela Day into tangible support for the communities we call home, proving that every act of kindness, big or small, helps build a better future.

Re-roofing a Landmark: NJR Delivers Engineering Precision at NWU Auditorium

2 June 2025
Re-roofing a Landmark: NJR Delivers Engineering Precision at NWU Auditorium NJR Potchefstroom was recently commissioned by North-West University (NWU) to solve a persistent leak in the auditorium roof—a complex task due to the very low pitch of the existing structure. Rather than replace the roof entirely, the team opted to erect a new roof structure over the old one. This solution ensured minimal disruption to ongoing activities inside the auditorium. In the absence of an appointed architect, NJR joined the design team directly, offering both product expertise and technical input. Our proposed light steel truss system was reviewed and approved by the project’s structural engineer. The project posed significant engineering challenges. The 40-year-old auditorium had no CAD documentation—only original paper plans. The building’s large, kite-shaped roof spans 70 metres diagonally and 35 metres across the shorter axis, with perimeter wall heights reaching 12 metres.

2 June 2025
Multi-Functional Security Made Simple: NJR’s DeFence System Delivers Beyond the Perimeter  What began as a standard perimeter fencing installation at a major shopping centre quickly evolved into a showcase of the adaptability and effectiveness of NJR Steel’s DeFence modular fencing system. Originally specified to secure the property boundary, the see-through DeFence panels and modular post system proved so versatile that they were soon deployed across a wide range of additional security applications on-site. These included protective enclosures for external air conditioning units, electrical distribution boxes, water tanks, and other vulnerable infrastructure installations—demonstrating the system's suitability for more than just perimeter DeFence.
