NJR Steel Celebrates a One Year Milestone

25 April 2024

It’s hard to believe that an entire year has passed since the exciting acquisition by NJR Steel of Staalbeer Steel Merchants’ three branches, located in Potchefstroom, Vereeniging, and Bothaville.


As we commemorate this significant milestone, it’s a fitting time to reflect on the impressive strides we have taken over the past year and to look ahead at the promising opportunities that lie on the horizon.

A Year of Expanding & Improving

Purchasing the three Staalbeer branches in Potchefstroom, Vereeniging and Bothaville and then setting them up as NJR Steel branches was a major move for NJR Steel that took a lot of hard work and dedication from both the existing NJR staff and the staff at the original Staalbeer branches that joined our family.


It helped us spread our wings into important parts of South Africa, adding the Trusses to our mix and expanding our roofing options, while also broadening our footprint in the North West province.


In addition to the above, we’re happy to announce the opening of a new improved bigger hardware store at our Bothaville branch which is in line with the NJR model across all it’s branches . This means we are a “one stop shop” meeting all your needs under one roof, providing a wide range of products.

And that’s not all! In the next two months, we’re planning to launch similar hardware stores at our Potchefstroom and Vereeniging branches.


It’s all about making things better for you, our valued customers.

Celebrating One Year Together

The team came together to mark this special one-year anniversary, recognizing the advancements achieved since joining the NJR family. Their dedication and effort have played a vital role in the growth and accomplishments of NJR Steel in the past year.

Staying Local, Thinking Big

While some companies are centralizing their operations, NJR Steel believes in the importance of local branches. These branches provide personalized service, quick access to products, and efficient deliveries.


The acquisition of Staalbeer Steel Merchants strengthens NJR Steel's ability to provide excellent service to its customers.

Looking Forward to the Future

The past year has been a growth year, and making things work smoothly for the Staalbeer branches transitioning into NJR Steel branches . We will continue to innovate, and most importantly, keep our customers happy. We’re all about making sure you get what you need when you need it.


Big thanks go out to all our loyal customers, hardworking employees, and everyone who’s supported us along the way. Together, we’ll keep building a brighter future for NJR Steel and the communities we serve.

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.

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.
