NJR Steel 2023: A Year of Unity, Innovation, and Expansion

6 December 2023

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.

Steel needs strength—but it also needs protection. That's where a proper finish makes all the difference.

We stock a full paint range—from tough primers to vibrant, durable topcoats.

Roofing a building requires more than just materials — it demands reliability, durability, and sheets cut to the right length you can trust.  That’s why NJR Steel offers a comprehensive range of quality roofing profiles—a system built to deliver protection without compromising on speed and service.

We recently wrapped up our NJR Made of Steel DIY Challenge, and we were absolutely blown away by the incredible creativity and craftsmanship that South Africans brought to the table. We asked you to show us what you could build, and you truly delivered. One thing, in particular, became crystal clear: South Africans love to braai. It’s no secret that the braai is a core part of our national identity. It’s where we gather, where we celebrate, and where we share stories.  This passion was the undeniable theme of our competition, with the vast majority of entries being some form of a custom-built, one-of-a-kind DIY braai. From complex smokers to portable wonders and everything in-between, the entries made the entire competition feel uniquely South African. We at NJR Steel were incredibly impressed by the ingenuity and passion that went into every single project.

Security today requires more than just a barrier — it demands strength, visibility, and durability you can trust. That’s why NJR Steel developed the NJR Steel De-fence range — a modular fencing system that delivers high-performance protection without compromising on design.

This past October 26th, the streets of Joburg were alive with the familiar energy and excitement of the 94.7 Ride Joburg. For the NJR Steel team, however, this race represented something far greater than just kilometers and finish times. It was a "Ride For A Purpose," a powerful initiative dedicated to championing the incredible work of Seeds of Africa . This wasn't just about cycling; it was about community. It was about channeling the determination and endurance of a cycling race directly into the hands of those building a better future.

Strength in Service: A Roundup of NJR Steel's Mandela Day Initiatives On July 18th, South Africans unite to honour the legacy of Nelson Mandela by dedicating 67 minutes to serving others—one minute for every year of his public service.  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.
